Pros

Lots of opportunities to make money as a sales agent. The biggest by volume builder in America so cash flow for starts is not an issue as it is with smaller builders. Easy to make 6 figures + on the sales side.

Cons

LOTS of events, meetings, etc. that are mandatory attendance. You can easily count on working 3-4 sometimes 5 hours above and beyond your posted "Model hours". If you aren't one of the "in" crowd you can forget any sort of shot at the primo new neighborhoods. The environment is not conducive to building TEAMS. Rather the systems that are currently in place, overall attitudes from upper and mid level mgmt. are strategically in place to pit agents against each other. You or your co-workers may be asked to "tell on" or watch other peers and report back any misdoings to sales managers. The preferred lender is also not left out of this type of situation. Also, do not plan on getting or receiving ANY formal training. You are literally put onsite and IF one of the "corporate trainers" are free then you may get a visit from one them.

Pros

You get paid well. The more you care, the better the reputation you will create and the better the clients will be.

Cons

Depending on community you get it can be more of a grind and take some time to get it running the way it needs to be. The drive to a community may be far from your house.

Amazing team environment. Pay and benefits are very strong as well. They take care of their employees.

Cons

Be expected to put in more than just the typical 9-5 work schedule.
