The Best Company I've Ever Worked For By Far, and It's Real, Genuine and Authentic

Pros

The corporate support office in Elmhurst, IL is pretty awesome I have to admit. Great atmosphere, great people, excellent centralized host for our employees to gather from accross the country. Love the culture it drives. Listen, I am not the biggest fan of anything "Ra Ra" especially in my work life. New Home Star has a genuine culture that you can't help but feel, enjoy and want to actively participate in. I actually enjoy damn near every one of my 300+ colleagues (and I know them too), I want to help grow and develop the company's trajectory and put in my work plus some. Why? Because I'm able to navigate through the seasons in life we all have. I am able to grow my professional career, family, health, social circle, income, and more and it doesn't have to be all at once. It's okay to fail - they encourage it. If you are competitive, value professional growth and development, enjoy winning, and actually building relationships in an organization, this is the best place possible IMO.

Cons

The company is young; still under 15 years since inception and just passed that key 10-year milestone. Real Estate is a cyclical industry and has its own pressures, challenges, and politics? maybe? I personally love that stuff. I want to be part of one of our largest industry's from a GDP perspective, I want to flip an old archaic industry on its head using innovation, technology, and strategy. There isn't a 500-page tutorial handbook on every single thing one must do at NHS so you need to be willing to ask questions, take on responsibility, raise your hand and give input. You aren't going to maximize your success within the org. if you plan on hiding in a corner with your headphones on and have zero interaction with colleages. Pro and a Con I suppose.

Thank you for sharing your insight from your time at the Corporate Support Office! It's great to hear that enjoy working with and have gotten to know so many other employees across the country. It is truly special that each of our local divisions, including the Corporate Support Office, are able to have the feeling of a close knit local team but also knowing there's the power of a nearly 400 person national company behind you to learn and grow from. Keep up the good work and let us know if we can ever help to provide you your most excellent career!
