Pros

Huge opportunity to grow within a sales role (not very usual in New Home Sales); fast paced & dynamic; a great place to develop and build a career (not just a job); expanding like CRAZY!; the people you work with truly CARE- as a former employee of a public company this is few and far between as there is more of a "what have you done for me lately" mentality, not so here. If you have good ethics, care a lot, and work hard, there is typically a spot on the bus for you at New Home Star

Cons

Being a young organization that is growing rapidly, there can be a lack of communication at times (however, the executive team is working hard to address this); not enough high talent managers YET so the executive team is spread pretty thin (again, this is being addressed with rolling out a new management development program which is awesome for young talent looking to grow in their career); we work A LOT and we work HARD (this isn't really a con for me as this is how I am wired, however, if you do not want to be a contributor to the company and want to just punch a clock, this probably isn't the place for you); not as many benefits as a public builder but as we grow and establish they are adding to the program which is great (this is the one area I would say lacks amongst a public builder- just for now, however).

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.
