Pros

They know how to lure millennials and dangle a false, shiny dream in front of them.

Cons

Just wait, for a flood of Glassdoor reviews coming in the next few days following this annual sales rally. The CEO openly asks employees to write positive reviews during these large gatherings, where he continues to sell his own employees on the company, only to progress his own agenda while preaching we should all be studying the bible. Unless you're in FL, where homes sell themselves, or perhaps CO, get ready to be thrown into a struggling market where NHS has promised some broken builder that they are the knight and shining armor "answer". Then be prepared to be reminded of how important your role is to the company and get pushed to figure out how to solve it, all while getting paid enough to be on food stamps without benefits. They 100% expect you to uproot your entire life and move to a new location multiple times throughout your career pitching this as “an opportunity”, (and openly push this expectation), with yet another broken builder. If you have any expectations to advance farther then the bottom tier on their career path, this isn’t for you. Otherwise, expect to get comfortable in an entry position at poor pay. They want you to drink the Koolaid and rope you in on the dream of a broken promise. Don't be fooled. Run now.

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.
