Pros

Love the Open Door policy with managers. The CEO Adam Kessler is such an approachable person! I love his family values with his own family! The company will compensate very well for doing your job accurately and in a timely matter.

Cons

You must have great Self Discipline and be able to take full accountability/reasonability for your loans. Have major work flow with closing loans in less than 10 days. The company has great understanding of Work-Life balance. I really miss working with this company!! I would go back in an heart beat!!!

Pros

It's a good company overall, Great support systems for LO's like IT/Business support. CRM, Mobile app, Lead system. Very well organized and executed on the Corporate level. Good product offerings for in house and loans, lot of Jumbo loan correspondent options, and decent broker channels for non QM. Very solid in house support on processing, underwriting pricing flexibility. I think for more seasoned established LO's this can be a very great option of a company to work for. You can have all the freedom and autonomy in your day to day here you want. On the flipside you're never going to get any help sourcing/brining in business. So if you are a very capable self gen LO it can be great. If you're not, and just getting started in the business may be a slow go for you.

Cons

Your experience will vary by branch on culture fit, training and support. Starting as a new LO I do not feel I got the best training and guidance on how to properly establish and run your LO business. From others I have spoken to that have started out elsewhere they had much more training, development and support in the beginning. I think this does vary widely by branch, but from a corporate level I do not feel you get the same training other companies can offer. I think the corporate structure/ management levels are too overlayered. This does take effect on your pricing, and although decent, your never gonna be not worried when someone is shopping you.
