Pros

If you've got ideas, management will listen to them, and if they are good, they will allow you to run with them. There isn't a ton of red tape to cut through to make changes around here which makes for a great work environment. Management genuinely cares about the worker bees. Everyone is easy to get along with, and you really feel like you are part of a solid team. Start up atmosphere and feel, with the stability of an established business. Hybrid schedule that will only require 1 or 2 days of work in the office with the remaining days remote. Decent bonus structure that rewards you for your speed and quality of work. Amazing health benefits Short required time length at one role before being allowed to switch roles/depts.

Cons

PTO could be better. 2 weeks vacation to start. Takes 3 years on the job to go up to 3 weeks. Industry standard is 3 weeks from the gate. Based on how well the company is doing and the talks about how much we are growing, there should be more room for growth than there truly is. Moving into different departments is supported and only a few months in the same role is required prior to moving, however there typically isn't a clear path to the next level and you are on your own to figure out how to get to where you want to be. Not necessarily a con, but you need to be able to roll with the punches. Policies and processes are constantly evolving and changing so you won't do well here if you are uncomfortable with change or unable to keep up. Sales gets treated like kings, Underwriters, eh not so much. Gigantic bonuses, gift cards, TV giveaways, and Presidents Club trips to exotic destinations are all up for grabs if you are good at "sales." I put sales in quotes, because "selling" someone a loan when they are already in the market for one is hardly sales in my opinion. Underwriters earn their base salary and have the chance for a monthly bonus up to a certain dollar amount based on quality and production. That's where it ends. No big giveaways, no exotic trips. There is a large separation between sales and underwriting that can be rather frustrating. At times it almost seems like the two departments aren't playing on the same team at all.

Pros

The leaders are fantastic and loves to take feedback and apply it. Compensated accordingly. You'll enjoy working here!

Cons

Looking to transition back into the office and the WFM/work in office approach is one that we'll be continuing to monitor to ensure everyone is safe. Looking to see how that goes...no feedback at this time.
