Pros

Creative products and efficient processes at the Horsham based operations, especially in morgage servicing.

Cons

The merger with Minnesota RFC Subprime unit's strategy and asset holdings took pulled down the Horsham Prime GMAC Mortgage unit unfairly..... Current financial crisis and bailout, tells which sub. really had the right thinking and which was pie in the sky easy money.... If the companies were not merged, I believe GMAC corp would of just shut GMAC RFC down in its entirety in one motion... and Horsham based employees would of been less effected by the crisis...

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
