Pros

The best part of working here was the fact that it was somewhat of a relaxed atmosphere.

Cons

Micromanagement, vicious, backstabbing people and no formal training and expected you to learn the job on your own.

Pros

Company was generally flexible about where and when you work as long as the work gets done. Except for benefits, the pay was market. The top benefit of working here is deal volume. You can see and learn a lot if you want to.

Cons

The company is an old school boys club type environment, far more than other companies in the financial services/mortgage banking industry. There is very little diversity and employee satisfaction is not at all a concern. Deal related standards/best practices and employee well being are regularly thrown out in favor of profits, especially as quarters end. Again, this is somewhat true of many firms in the business, but it is unapologetically rampant here. The firm experienced multiple mass resignations while I was there. Benefits are severely under market, especially the 401k offering.

Pros

Good place to learn - thrown right into the fire, see a lot of deal flow - with exception of upper management people there are great

Cons

No regard of personal life. Constant stress from upper management, originators, treasury, asset management, legal, just about every department. Empty promises from upper management, felt like was constantly understaffed and overworked. Late nights and weekends were common. Many people were fired, a lot of turnover
