Pros

D.R. Horton will always have inventory for you to sell. Having the largest home builder in the U.S. behind you give you a lot of confidence that there will always be opportunistic and communities to sell in. They let you sell your own way and are really laid back, and most of the time will work with you to get a deal under contract. Medical and other company benefits are fantastic. Chances for vacations and other prizes based on sales volume. Management in my area seem to care about you and your personal life and will try to accommodate your needs.

Cons

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.

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.

Pros

High volume sales and great pay

Cons

They work you like a slave, there is no work-life balance, and most people end up divorced and in the hospital due to the insane amount of stress. Average tenure is 3 years for this position, but if you can stick it out for 3 years, it's potentially life-changing money. They have intentionally created an environment where only the strong survive. Have an exit-strategy and a back up plan for when things hit the fan.
