Pros

Great benefits. Average pay. Comraderie among employees.

Cons

Management positions are filled from within, which would be a "pro", except none have training in management. And it's not provided. Hence, they are horrible at leading, motivating, or managing people. The only focus is meeting the profitability goals.

If you're desperate, it's a paycheck.

Pros

Highmark BC/BS Insurance. There are a few good supervisors, although their hands are tied for many things.

Cons

No pay transparency. No remote or hybrid work options. Not even flexibility to WFH for part of the day if you have an appointment. Horrible management and above. Moral is horrible. People sit at their desks crying.

Pros

(1). Initial salary should be negotiated as high as possible. (2). Black and white bonus structure (up to 30% for certain levels) = Net Income + Total Home Sales, straightforward. (3). ESOP program. (4). That is it, it's all about the dollars.

Cons

(1). Employee culture has a lot to be desired. (2). NVR is NOT an IT-based firm, < 3% of staff positions of ~6600 are IT-related (3). 401K program is almost non-existent, only $1000 match. (4). No work-life balance, no flexibility to work from home (rare), need to be at your desk 5 days per week, and NVRT management walks the floors in the PM. Very sad. (5). Senior leadership claims to be conservative, and in the bigger picture of business they are, but how they project staffing against home building projections is highly questionable. There is longevity of "certain" employees, but that is NOT representative of the norm. (6). Old school management style(from the 80's), senior leadership tells NVR Technology (NVRT) management what their budget they will receive. NVRT leadership really does not have any input, no matter what they state or claim to NVRT employees. This affects both merit increases and staffing levels. (7). NVRT middle management professional integrity, and in some cases personal integrity, is questionable.
