Pros

Teamwork! Everyone works together to close loans. It's a beautiful thing after working in big banking for years and watching the adversarial relationships between ops and sales. We are a very people-centric company from keeping our clients happy and also keeping a happy and engaged workforce. Employees are given a lot of latitude to do their job and make their own decisions. It's a beautiful thing to see--employees work THAT much harder here. Loans close on time. I've never seen a company treat employees so well from surprise extra floating holidays (amazing!) to gift cards during employee appreciation week and even a surprise Christmas bonus (who does that anymore?!). Management is always accessible and there really is a family like atmosphere. it's just SO refreshing!!! I truly see myself retiring here. I've found my "home".

Cons

Just a few--standardize the vacation across the company. I went from one region that I got all of my vacation hours at the beginning of the year and then transferred to a new position and new region where you basically get no vacation your first year and have to "borrow" against your next year! That was a total shocker as I have time off scheduled and I'm essentially borrowing next year's time at this point. Very frustrating especially for a company that is otherwise HUGE on work life balance. The medical/dental could be better but not a huge thing to me since I'm on my spouse's plans. Also more of a 401k match would be awesome as I lost about 4% from my former employer in coming to cornerstone.

Pros

None, company does not care about employees

Cons

HR and management will make up lies, show no proof and fire you with no warning. Even when ask for proof of allegation, HR refused to provide as there was none. There is a reason they are now looking for their 3rd mortgage fraud investigator in 6 months time. They also do not believe in raises or annual review, poor 401k match and high cost for family benefits.
