Pros

They let you wear jeans on Friday.

Cons

The sales teams are held in higher regard than any other department, but they are not held to any standards of professionalism or knowledge. It feels like high school here. There are cliques and people are singled out and literally made fun of for differences. I have never seen anything like it in a professional work environment. I do not feel valued as an employee or even as a human being. There is a complete lack of sensitivity, compassion, and empathy. Beware of what they tell you in the interview. They will tell you everything you want to hear, but the reality is that there is no stability or room for growth here. Expect low pay and minimal if any raises. As a lender, they do not offer anything to borrowers that cannot be offered at another lender. If anything, their lack of knowledge will earn them a bad reputation for over promising and under delivering. I do not see longevity of this company, in a world where automation and online lending is increasing.

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.
