The most top heavy company you'll ever find - Network Architect Academy Mortgage Employee Review

I loved the culture at Academy. The people were great,

There were no cons to working there

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.

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.
