Pros

During my tenure, I have experienced countless benefits from this organization. The two that really stand out to me are the company culture and career development opportunities. The culture is something that inspires me every day to be the best version of myself. There are plenty of opportunities to network with colleagues and bond through company events and local initiatives. I've gotten to participate in tons of fun experiences and volunteerism, which really makes me happy to be part of this organization. In addition, the career development and room for advancement that is offered at the company are top-notch. I always feel supported by my manager to go out and make an impact through my role and receive mentorship on how to get to the next level in my career. I'm very thankful for the autonomy and support to go after both my short-term and long-term goals and dreams.

Cons

With the amount of fast growth and expansion, there can sometimes be challenges that get tough to manage.

Pros

Sometimes can work remote. Sometimes get free food and alcohol (because they’re big on their drinks). You won’t feel like you fit in if you’re not always getting drinks after work or at events.

Cons

Huge red flag when employees kept referring to this place as their “second family”. This might initially be perceived as a sweet sentiment but this can be a classic signal of manipulative management. You work long hours, lots of overtime and experience a lack of boundaries. The result? You spend less time with your ACTUAL family while you try to please your professional one.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your employment experience. At New Home Star, we pride ourselves on our excellent company culture, so this review caught us off guard, and we are very sorry to hear that you felt excluded during your time here. Many of our employees have developed close relationships and spend time together outside work. We believe our employees deeply value these relationships and genuinely care about each other. Our leaders do not use personal relationships to manipulate our employees. We have many positions within New Home Star, some more demanding than others, but we value and respect personal time and strive to foster work-life balance. We host various events within our organization, most of which do not include alcohol. Occasionally, we host after-hours events onsite or offsite that have alcoholic beverages available for employees. We enforce a two-drink limit for these events. Based on the information you provided in your review, we urge you to reach out to humanresources@newhomestar.com with a detailed account of your experience so that we can better understand and address your concerns. Thank you again for your feedback.
