D.R. Horton reviews about "training"

Management has favorites & make sure they get the best communities. Sales Managers need more training on how to effectively coach and lead a team. Favortism: If you are one of the few that management likes, they will take care of you. Schedule

The job could pretty much be done in a couple hours so being here for nine hours M-F is not necessary. Training could be better in terms of management assistance.

The AS400 based computer system is antiquated and difficult to use.

Pay isn't up to par, a lot of micro management by people that don't even know what you do, they do not respect work life balance at all. It's a numbers game and you are there to help them reach that next goal. There's a lot of repetitive tasks "required" and they will absolutely shame you in front of your peers, finger pointing to find fault when something goes wrong. Veiled threats are not uncommon.

No training manuals. Learn as you go. Management communicates poorly to the rest of the lower ranking employees.

mandatory OT - But it really isnt that bad.

Hands down the worst job I’ve ever had. There is no work life balance. It’s work from 7am-10/11pm. You’re on call even when you’re “off”. They push you into these management positions and strive to make your life unbearable. The upper management is an absolute joke, and everyone is on a power trip to get to the top. No one cares about anything or anyone but themselves, in true corporate fashion. Aside from the low salary, and highly negative work environment. The lack of training, lack of professionalism, high drama, and lack of care for the customer (who in all actuality generates the income and pays the salaries) really sets them apart from other companies. It’s a horrible place to be. Unless you want someone jumping down your throat for pre-existing conditions and circumstances beyond your control, don’t do it to yourself. Don’t do it to your family. Stay in sales. Avoid it like the plague that is Management at D.R. Horton.

Toxic management No room for career growth Low pay No WFH Didn't really know what to expect walking into the place as it was my first full time job but I surprised at what I found. D.R. Horton pumps out a massive amount of homes (#1 homebuilder in America) and in order to achieve that they need you to get up to speed quickly. I bumbled my responsibilities in the beginning and I was heavily punished for it as they have little to no patience for mistakes. The expectation is really high but the training I received was really poor. I was dealt a losing hand right from the beginning. After a couple months, I found the job to be really simple. I could have taught my 15 year old sister how to do it. As for workplace culture, my supervisor was always crabby so she made our department really tense and my manager was very passive aggressive so naturally this lead to a very toxic work environment. Overall, the company culture is highly impersonal and cliquey. It feels very "top-down" where management towers over you and makes you feel less-than. A lot of my coworkers were tone deaf to the political correctness of 2022 and often made sexist "jokes" that we all just kind of turned a blind eye to in order to avoid an awkward interpersonal relationship. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this position to my worst enemy. It's a toxic, low paying, no room for career growth, dead end job.

Lacks proper training for new employees, and lacks good communication between departments.
