New Home Star

Pros:
-Great culture! - I genuinely feel like I have a second family. I love the atmosphere that NHS offers where yes, we're all professionals but at the same time remembering that people are people at the end of the day. My colleagues are more than just coworkers; they're people I can rely on, trust, and call a friend. My biggest fear of joining a nationwide company was being just another fish in the sea, but that's where NHS is unique in appreciating its people and fostering relationships not just within your own department/local team but also throughout the country.

-Flexibility/ Work Life Balance - There's plenty of PTO, Vacation, and a mental health day policy; heck, even having your birthday day off is super cool. You have to be mindful of your division/department's bandwidth of requesting time off, but that's a general business practice, and I've never had an issue with requested time off not being approved. Just provide a good amount of notice. I also had a unique situation in my personal life requiring me to move out of state, but fortunate that there was no doubt NHS wanted to keep me and allow me to be remote while still making sure I felt very involved with my team and the rest of the company.

-Opportunities for growth- When I started, the whole HR department was pretty small and barely stayed afloat, but now we've grown more than twice our size. It's incredible to be part of helping grow the department, especially having your thoughts not just heard but actually implemented in creating best practices. I've been promoted, accepted into the MENSA program, and am currently being mentored for leadership responsibilities.

Cons:
Like in any company, there are growing pains and areas for improvement. There was even a time when I was unsure of staying, but I'm glad I trusted my gut that there are people who care about me at this company and helped put the right resources in place not just for me but for my team as well. I recommend for any person to express their concerns and frustrations while also being patient if you can, as there are leaders who care, and from my experience, actual actions were put into place.  
The only other con is for the company not to rush initiatives or projects. There are times when it's necessary, but I feel at times that it can be more thorough in the planning, implementation, and communication.  
Overall I've seen tremendous growth and steps in the right direction that New Home Star is taking; it might not be for everyone, but I feel very confident with where I am at right now and especially with the support system I have by my side.

Although my time there was short, I HIGHLY recommend!   I am older, I have been around the block in my career, I have been the trainee and I have been the trainer... and I can say the training program at New Home Star is incredible. It is an 8 week training program and you will be paid during this time enough to survive.  The culture is like nothing you have ever seen.  Non-stop motivation.  There are no benefits but there is a great chance you can make enough money to take care of those things yourself if you are in the right community.  It was early on in the Houston venture when I went with them in 2017. I was placed in a community after training that was tough to sell (new to Texas builder, well known competition all around and all we had to really show was our model and spec or two at that time) there was NOT enough business for two of us to be there and fight each other for leads, they would have worked that out eventually but I had to cut and run to go with a big builder. Neither my partner or I could logistically go to another location in the Houston area and I could not afford to be there with a partner any longer. They have since opened another community in my part of town so there is now enough to go around. I am grateful for my time there and I highly recommend.  I can't say enough about the training and support of your co-workers around the Country. They take their way of doing things very seriously. The wonderful quality builder in Houston NHS was working for was JUST about to blow up into a few more great communities and the VP of that Builder was already highly respected in the industry.  I think the draw system after training and commission are about average, (not great\not bad) compared to other builders but the potential is there and what you will learn if you are willing is worth it. It is possible to do great there.. it just did not work out for me :( DEFINITELY talk to them!!!

I started working as an intern for New Home Star as a junior in college and I am currently still working for the company heading into my last few months in college.  I have to say that the experience I have had so far has been excellent! I started off as a marketing intern, developing marketing strategies to improve traffic to the company and assisting with in house projects for our sales teams.  Each project involved creative thinking and collaboration to provide the best solution as possible.  I have helped with many different forms of marketing, even becoming involved as a project manager for one marketing project.  I have learned so much from this company and have enjoyed every minute of it.  The culture that was created is tremendous and makes me want to come to work everyday.  It is a great environment that allows people to work efficiently while having fun at the same time. For the past year I have worked hard and have been rewarded with good support and an opportunity to move up with the company. Now that I am almost graduated from college, I have been given the opportunity to accept a full time job with New Home Star.  What started out as an internship in college, turned out to be a great fit with a full time job! This company has taught me how to be effective in the New Home Building industry while balancing different projects and school.  I am very pleased with the opportunities that New Home Star has given me and I am excited to be working with the company in the future!

I have been working here for almost a year now and have really found that I have stumbled upon a diamond here. I started as an intern and now being full-time for a while, I can attest to how great this company is. First off, their training is top-notch. Between the growth I've seen from sales associates to directors, to my own corporate office, we're improving ourselves every single day. One of their biggest pushes is for your career path at this company and giving you the room to grow and take initiative. If you are willing to work hard for it, you WILL succeed! You would think this makes them super competitive - but it's one of the most collaborative environments I've worked in! The people are great here and are very inclusive and kind. I really feel appreciated here and enjoy coming to work everyday because of that. They are also very down to earth while they are sky-rocketing into this industry. I am blessed to have found New Home Star

Disappointing! The concept on paper is AMAZING yet the execution on follow through will leave you looking for other opportunities. After moving on I can finally exhale and am ready to shed some light on my personal experience. The managers either over manage or under manage.  Future potential is very likely. Possibly just growing pains. If you flourish in an environment that is organized and has consistent systems in place this may not be the best fit for you at this time. Certainly not a horrible company to work for but it definitely has some challenges so if you have the patience to deal with inconsistencies it could be worth it in the big picture.I clearly lacked patience as time equates to money. This company has all the best intentions yet still falls short.

New Home Star has very intelligent, visionary upper management that provides world-class sales training. Company culture is excellent. However, with rapid growth and a variety of builders, there are many different experiences to be had across the country working for New Home Star. Some divisions, run by strong directors and managers are excellent, top-notch places to work, while other divisions (ie: Tampa North, Maronda Homes) are highly lacking leadership, and very poorly managed by insecure, incompetent leaders. Consider the division for which you’re applying before pursuing employment with New Home Star.

This is a good place to get a start, but after a while, you feel that you are doing too much work for the commission that they offer. Yes you do get a base salary of 40k, but it sucks when you work hard to get a deal and it falls through because of financing.  Also, if a customer cancels a contract and the builder keeps the commission, the sales agent should at least get something if the builder gets to keep the deposit by contract.  I don't think its fair that a sales agent does all the work to close and if a customer cancels, they don't get anything. After that, depending on the builder you work with, having consistent inventory is important or it will be a while before you get paid. So ask them do they have inventory to sale.  

I've found more than just a job – I've discovered a second family. Our tight-knit team not only works together but supports each other like friends.

In the busiest seasons, our unity shines brightest. We tackle challenges head-on, leaning on each other's strengths with unwavering dedication.

What sets us apart is our adaptability. We thrive in change, always ready to pivot. Yet, this flexibility can sometimes lead to challenges, as strategy and processes take a back seat.

Despite these hurdles, our team spirit prevails. Together, we navigate uncertainties and emerge stronger. Working at New Home Star isn't just about the tasks; it's about the bonds we share, making every challenge worth overcoming together.

New Home Star has great training and culture but the builder partners don't always have the same values which makes it impossible to have effective communication which will always leave you guessing and have your customers mad at you and you constantly having to come up with excuses and lies for constant delays.
The pay doesn't justify the constant difficulties, uncomfortable customer situations your forced to be in and negative work life balance.
Until this is fixed there will continue to be a mass exodus of talent from the company.

Working with NHS has its pros and cons. They say they want this to be your last interview and they even have a “no surprises” policy. Meaning, you can’t be fired without warning. Well, I’m here to tell you, that is a lie. They do a wonderful job of “selling” you the dream. Loyalty, training, quick promotions etc. However, reality is, the company is full of nepotism and people scratching each others backs to get ahead (if you know what I mean). I would only recommend working at this company to learn the art of selling (the training is top tier) and then take what you’ve learned and go make more money elsewhere!
