Pros

Responsive HR team...although sometimes not very nice, engaged CEO, and intelligent marketing strategy leaders

Cons

People are just seen as numbers and machines, no matter how much the company tries to act like they're not. Some people have so many perks while others are treated horrible. Some people get to work from home and create their own schedule, others in similar roles have no flexibility. Pay is extremely inconsistent, and overall they treat most people as if they're replaceable. In general, the sales team enjoys working for the company, but Corporate employees are treated so inconsistently. Favoritism and politics run rampant. Work life balance is nonexistent, jokes about how people work through lunch and can't take PTO are common, and there are no work/life boundaries (i.e. being told we're a "family" and expecting employees to think about work constantly). Heard multiple times that we "should be waking up at night thinking about ways to improve".

Pros

I have spent more than 3 decades in the mortgage industry, CMG is definitely in the top 3 mortgage companies I've worked for. Ops is lightning quick, compensation is solid, the product variety is the best I've seen including amazing proprietary programs, benefits are reasonable, there really isn't anything more I could ask for. Every aspect is at least good, if not world class!

Cons

None I can think of

Pros

There are a ton of opportunities to innovate and build industry-changing technologies. We have a great product team and a great engineering team, so the possibilities for my team and me are endless. We're also serious about using AI across product management, BSA work, QA, and engineering. It's part of our culture, and the transformation is being led directly by our technology leaders, which shows they're hands-on and lead by example. You won't find many places where a top leader is this invested in transformation and in the details, and that's both encouraging and energizing for our team. On the business side, there's a lot of flexibility and support for our sales and fulfillment team members. Ideas are heard and implemented no matter who they come from. Our leadership team is humble, and they genuinely care about and understand their business. They've been very welcoming and have taken the time to help me understand their business needs so I can deliver the right solutions. CMG believes in top-notch customer service and in offering a comprehensive suite of products that most other companies don't have. The culture here is great and genuine, and I'm very glad I made the choice to join CMG.

Cons

Opportunity to standardize process and create an enterprise fulfillment strategy, currently in the works and planned for the immediate future.
