Pros
Brand recognition Large supply of inbound leads Autonomy Most supervisors do not micromanage Overtime is allowed most of the time You will be left alone to do your work if you are successful
Cons
The lack of technology is astonishing. Computers and phones are extremely old, they run Internet Explorer 6, which means some web sites are not viewable. The software used to generate loans crashes amost daily (that sounds like an exaggeration but unfortunately it isn't). The loan generating software does not calculate DTI correctly, which is shocking for one of the country's largest banks. Rates are higher than the market, sometimes embarrassingly higher. Chase cut the comp plan by 50%, then raised rates ridiculously high and re-routed inbound calls in order to slow business down. This means mortgage consultants/loan officers will struggle to make money while this comp plan is in effect. Extremely difficult to advance or transfer into another department. Training/education is below average. Way too many compliance items that could be replaced by technology.
