Pros

-Exposure to a variety of projects - Work with a lot of nice, energetic people who are passionate about the company and their roles -Plenty of opportunity for collaboration across corporate teams and with sales people -Culture fosters comfort in socializing with higher execs -Fun work events -Modern office

Cons

-Compensation isn't competitive -Lack of trust and transparency from leadership -Limited growth opportunities -PTO is not flexible -leadership marks certain days as "black-out days", which means you can't use PTO (for example, right before and after holidays). I was also required to use PTO for doctor appointments. While I had some good times with New Home Star, there were so many policies and experiences that left a bad taste in my mouth. I have a lot of respect for the Corporate leaders, and I know that they care, but I dont know that they've really tried to improve. It seems that they are so in love with NHS that they've been blind to its weaknesses.

Pros

Company culture is everything at NHS, which remains my biggest highlight. I’ve genuinely felt valued here from the start. It doesn’t feel like you’re just another number; there’s a real effort to recognize people and make them feel seen. Teams are supportive, and people actually want their peers to succeed. It’s an environment where you can grow while also feeling appreciated for your contributions.

Cons

Like any growing organization, there are occasional growing pains as the company continues to evolve. Processes and priorities can shift, but that’s also part of what comes with progress and expansion.

Pros

New Home Star is one of those companies that really lives its values. The culture is supportive, driven, and genuinely focused on helping people grow. It’s fast-paced, and expectations are high—but that’s part of what makes it a great place to work if you like being challenged and learning constantly. What stands out most is how forward-thinking the company is. From technology to training to how teams collaborate, New Home Star is consistently ahead of the curve in the homebuilding space. They’re not stuck doing things “the old way,” and they actually invest in tools and systems that make people better at their jobs. It’s not perfect—no company is—but leadership listens, good work is recognized, and there’s a real sense of momentum. If you’re motivated, adaptable, and want to be part of something that’s growing and evolving, New Home Star is a great place to be.

Cons

The pace and expectations can be demanding at times, especially during busy seasons or major initiatives. Things move quickly, priorities can shift, and there’s a constant push to improve and adapt. While that creates a lot of opportunity, it can also feel intense if you prefer a slower, more predictable environment.
