Pros

Like many other local companies, work roles are less specialized than large companies. Stafaf can interact with each other more often.

Cons

1. Lack of empathy. Most staff will need a few hours off here or there to go to a dentist or doctor’s appointment without wanting to chip into a full day off. But Stanley Martin lacks the empathy to offer their staff the flexibility when it is truly needed. 2. Office gossip. It's toxic to the atmosphere and even constitute bullying and therefore termination. Office gossip here is hurtful, spiteful and leaves staff becoming closed off and guarded. 3. Micromanagement. When under constant scrutiny from management, it creates an atmosphere full of tension. Regardless that micromanagement doesn’t work, all its good for is slowing down work and ensuring all staffs are under unnecessary pressure.

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.
