Assistant Closing Manager - Assistant Closing Manager DHI Mortgage Employee Review

The job description was not accurately portrayed in the interviewing process and would not have left current position if it had been. The topic of overtime should be expounded on as there is no life balance in the closing/post closing departments. Overtime is expected and mandatory. This does not occur occasionally as stated in responses but rather two weeks out of every month (60 -70 hours). If it is a quarter end all employees are required to work late nights often starting early in the month. Mandatory weekends and holidays are presented by management in writing. The closing staff is paid OT and very high bonus plans however this is not true for management. The department is micro managed to the point of employees often leaving work in tears. Had a coaching session by manager (as a manager) about taking a lunch on a busy Friday and how it upset three subordinates. The person filling this position will have a hard time succeeding within the current management control unless works well with passive aggressive micro managing. Micro managed to the point emails to my team had to be proof read by my manager prior to sending. Employees are often coached for having to leave on time to take care of family obligations. This was by far my worst work experience having celebrated 30 years of mortgage banking. Departed with valuable lessons of what NOT to do in my future management positions. Very humbling experience.
