SimplyHome, Legend Homes Named 2025 Top Workplaces by USA Today

March 20, 2025

The awards represent SimplyHome’s first win and Legend Homes’ second straight win

Camillo Companies announced today that operating brands SimplyHome and Legend Homes were recognized by USA Today as 2025 Top Workplaces. The awards represent SimplyHome’s first win and Legend Homes’ second straight win. 


“We take a lot of pride in our workplace atmosphere and company culture at SimplyHome and Legend Homes,” Camillo Companies Chief People Officer Vivian Mora said. “We’re honored to be named among some of the best organizations in the country.”

 

Issued by Energage, the Top Workplaces program has surveyed more than 20 million employees since its launch 15 years ago. This year, more than 42,000 organizations around the country were invited to participate in the survey.   


Winners of the Top Workplaces USA list are chosen based solely on employee feedback gathered through an employee engagement survey. Energage calculates results by comparing the survey’s research-based statements, including 15 Culture Drivers proven to predict high performance against industry benchmarks. 


Camillo Companies is a vertically integrated operation consisting of four primary entities: Retail (Legend Homes), Residences (SimplyHome), Land Development (Academy Development) and Maintenance (LCI Services). Through these operations, Camillo Companies brands have constructed more than 30,000 homes and residences in the Greater Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, and Bryan-College Station areas. 


In November 2024, Camillo Companies announced SimplyHome and Legend Homes were named to the Houston Chronicle’s annual list of Top Workplaces in the metropolitan region (Camillo Companies also made the list). The awards capped off a year of growth and development for both companies; SimplyHome expanded into the Oklahoma City market in March 2024, while Legend Homes introduced several new communities in the Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas-Fort Worth markets. 


“These are team awards as voted on by our employees, so we see this as much as an opportunity for growth as one for celebration,” Mora said. “Our leadership team will use the invaluable survey data findings to help us better listen to our employees, learn from what they’re saying, and continue to improve our workplaces for years to come.”
