Pros

The product - the homes. 2x6 construction = extra insulation. Good design for the most part. A lot of quality to sell. The training is great. You have a lot of training on the front end and continuing education often.

Cons

I have had the worst experience with the "best" builder in the industry. What an oxymoron. Hard to believe but so true. DWH has ruined the homebuilding industry for me. Taken the wind from my sails. Some floorplans are outdated. DW is loyal to certain folks who keep the company in the stone ages. The floorplans need a face lift. All, let me say it again, all Project Managers are men. Because DWH values building homes more than selling homes, to become a Project Manager you have to have been a Builder previously. Women aren't typically Builders so all DWH Project Managers are men. So, if you have a male Project Manager (PM) who was a Builder previously you will have a PM who doesn't understand sales. Builders don't understand sales. They think it's easy to have buyers change lots or floorplans. It's NOT easy. DWH operates with a Builder mentality. Well, you got to sell homes before you can build homes, right? Duh! They don't value Sales Consultants as much as they should. It comes down to numbers a lot of the time. If your numbers aren't there they will cut you. If your PM likes you, you may have a chance. No matter how many lots you have to sell or your price point or your traffic you will have a partner. This means your chances of making some real money are slim. They always have two Sales Consultants in one model to cover the days of the week. So afraid to lose a damn sale. Hey, if people want to buy, they'll buy.
