Pros

· Strong overall company fundamentals, including a respected brand and solid project portfolio. · Many talented, hard-working employees who are genuinely committed to delivering quality work. · The Charleston Division has significant potential with the right leadership focus and oversight.

Cons

· Leadership behavior within the Purchasing Department in Charleston raises concerns about professionalism, accountability, and consistency. · Observed situations that suggested blurred professional boundaries with a trade partner, creating questions around judgment and potential conflicts of interest. · Culture often felt driven by control, fear, and retaliation rather than collaboration and support. · Inconsistent communication, heavy micromanagement, and limited leadership presence contributed to an unstable work environment. · Hostility toward other departments undermined teamwork and damaged critical cross-functional relationships. · Employees expressing concerns appeared to face negative consequences, discouraging transparency and fostering a culture of silence. · Meaningful improvement will likely require stronger oversight, clearer ethical guidance, and new leadership within the Purchasing Department.

Pros

Home Builder has strong mission, vision, and values. Privately held. Celebrating 60th anniversary in 2026. Great people!! Hard-working, respectful, and accountable. HQ in Reston, VA. They build in DMV, Richmond, Charlottesville, All over NC, SC, Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa, so there are lots of work sites and growth opportunities: In-field positions (sales, construction management) are growing and many promotions come from within. Intern opportunities are excellent! Paid. Substantive work. Has resulted in full time employment. Company believes in hiring early in career to train team members in the "Stanley Martin way." Supports workers with robust learning and development - for individuals and teams. Great people!! Strong benefits package, including 401K matching funds (up to specific $ amount) and pet insurance.

Cons

Salaries can be well below average and increases are a small % of original base. Negotiate. Negotiate. Negotiate.
