Pros

I have worked for multiple fortune 500 companies but never felt valued in the way that I do with FDR. We offer a product unlike any other in the market place, one where we can truly make a difference in people’s lives. To do this we have to hire and maintain great people. If we don't, we risk losing our credibility with the creditors and our clients and that is something we aren't willing to let happen. You get out of this job what you put into it. Easy to say but it is the truth. Some folks want to show up, work their hours and go home and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Others want to advance and be a part of our ever changing environment and industry. We are happy to have anyone who wants to work. Work hard, be efficient, contribute, be open minded, able to evolve and remember that we are here to help our clients and to make our organization as successful as possible so we can continue to create opportunity for anyone that is interested.

Cons

We have our challenges as a company. We need to improve our communication, continue to evaluate how we incent our employees, improve our technology to better meet the needs of both internal and external customers. Keep in mind this also describes every company that I have ever worked for. That said, what makes us different in my opinion, is that we are getting better at recognizing these flaws/opportunities and taking steps to address them. Opening up avenues of communication to try and get the best solutions possible, as efficiently as possible. The upside, we have a lot of people who don’t just sit on their hands and do nothing. We have people who work and are used to getting things done. It helps drive our company and really defines our culture.

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
