Pros

The only pro I can think of was how NOT to be a manager.

Cons

Not a good place to work. Hands down the worst experience I've ever had. Was constantly harassed by my very inappropriate manager who was a director. Was actually a glorified assistance to the CEO. The CEO if ever in the office is ignorant to these problems this director is 100% responsible for. They play favorites at this company, paying employees too much for executive levels and too little for anything below. If you were on the inside of the inner circle you were rewarded, if not you were an outcast who was looked down upon. There is often stunted career growth due to favoritism as well. Hard work is not rewarded and I was actually treated worse after putting in a year of overtime, 10-12 hours a day. Also, upon doing some research on salary for my position in the area I come to find on average I was being paid 15k less than other jobs and 15k less than my current role. This company brags about culture and what not but there is not culture at all. This company like to think of itself as "small" or a "startup" but the opposite is true. It was very very corporate. At one point I was asked to pay back some of my paycheck because I forgot to clock out and take a break before 5 hours worked when my manager could have easily made the change. All in all, I would not recommend this company or any position in it to my worst enemy. Believe in yourself and look for a bigger, better opportunity.

Pros

I will call where I work "Guild IT" since the home office experience is not the same world as the field office experience. Guild IT is very stable and committed to its employees. Guild IT has never laid off anyone in the time I've been here. Guild IT meets people where they are as far as skill set and makes assignments accordingly. Guild IT values institutional knowledge as opposed to what fancy new boxes you can check as far the latest technologies. Guild IT tries new processes and keeps the transitions stable and workable. Guild IT is very flexible. I have a special needs son and I've never had to ask to adjust my schedule to meet his. Guild IT is very remote work friendly.

Cons

My department in particular within Guild IT has little rhyme or reason to how you move up. I finally got to the next job title after a change in management. Other departments seem to have more clear metrics. With the volatility in the tech industry, I valued the job stability even before I got promoted. It would just be better to flesh out how employees get from here to there.

Pros

Well established, offices throughout the country. Have plenty of coaching and training available especially if you are willing to pay for it. Benefits are pretty reasonably priced.

Cons

Overly bloated corporate structure, company margins are high and baked into your rates. They pay a lot of people high salaries that don't contribute a lick to helping the life blood of the company, their LO's originate loans. Give you a minimum wage base on a drawback. So you can get yourself in a hole if you have a month without any closings.
