D.R. Horton reviews about "training"

No training. They pretty much sit you at a desk and tell you to figure it out. All ideas are null and void as they feel they know what they’re doing even if they don’t have the numbers to show it. Management on a regional level is not on the same page as corporate and corporate is so far removed from how the real world works its insane. I’ve personally never been with a company as large as them and so disorganized.

Absolutely horrible bonus and raise system. It's treated like a secret with no feedback or reasoning as to why you may or may not get it. Upper management ensured that we always knew we are a replaceable commodity. They make sure that we are always just a little worried about losing our job. Definitely a Vinegar instead of Honey type environment and it feeds down from two Management levels above, as the direct manager for the team is actually the complete opposite. If you work here you will realize that there are some unreasonable expectations that may not even be communicated to you. There will be very little help in the sense of training. 0 work life balance. You will only succeed in that place if you give up your life. The people that have been there the longest work 60+ hours a week. You are expected to always be available no matter of on call rotation or written expectations. Absolutely 0 reasons to be loyal to the company. A new hire will make more money and depending on position probably get treated better. Favoritism is rampant in this place.

- Culture is awful. It's sales so be prepared to work with two faced people who will do anything to beat you in commissions - Coworkers are trashy and uneducated - Corporate events are drunk fests - Terrible Management; they were distant and unhelpful. They often seemed like they were trying to find ways to write up employees. Treated us like numbers and not people - LONG Hours, required to work until the sun goes down (You basically will never have time off even on your "off days") - You will never really have time for your family, kids, friends, etc. outside of work - Backlog is very extensive - Commute is long most days in training (average of an hour drive to the neighborhood). Neighborhoods are very spread out and in the middle of nowhere - Only one Saturday off of work every 6 months - Training salary is extremely low (roughly $13 / hour) - No structure to training, very much sink or swim - They live by "the customer is always right" even if the customer is completely in the wrong and verbally attacks you (happens often) - Customers will treat you like their servants and expect you to bend over backwards constantly even when they have unreasonable requests During COVID: - Management did not enforce any employees to wear masks even though there were multiple outbreaks in the office frequently - Management kept outbreaks a secret from sales reps out in the field

Work life balance, mental health, exhaustion, no trust, loyalty to their employees. They work their employees to exhaustion, require you to do more than your job and compensate very poorly. Stay clear of this place!

work/life balance, upper management, training

There is very little room for interpretation. Do things their way, or get out.

No base pay, not even a draw. If I don't sell, I starve. No real training for new agents. Their Jr. program isn't a terrible idea, but the people that "train" you don't have your best interest at heart. No real support from the company. If you don't sell, oh well.

Unfortunately, most markets are commission only so it can be off to a slow start for some. If you have a support system at home then great but if not then have enough savings for at least 4 months until your pipeline builds up but it will be worth it for most. Work life balance can be challenging due high demand position.
