Pros

There are no pros to working here

Cons

This company preys on inexperienced sales people and pays them less than half of the industry standard. By the time the new hires figure it out, they already have too much money entangled in "future commissions" to walk away. The company will constantly lie and change the rules to keep digging their greedy paws into your earned commissions. They treat their employees like slaves, demanding that you be available 24/7, while paying them 0.75% commission on real estate transactions, sales agents can make at LEAST 2% selling homes anywhere else without having to worry about their employer taking their commissions from them, there is no reason to ever apply or work here. They will also constantly shove their political beliefs down your throat so if you do apply here, I hope you have the same views as them, otherwise good luck.

Pyramid schemes, lies, stealing commissions, treating employees like slaves, forcing beliefs on employees...

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.
