Pros

Benefits are great, no work on weekends, some of the employees are really superb individuals, requesting time off is easy and almost always a sure thing.

Cons

Management gets hurt feelings easily, there is no real HR to go to with issues, approaching supervisors with issues makes you the problem, some employees do very little work and management doesn't seem to care that you have to take all the weight, burn-out happens very quickly with heavy workloads, loan officers are rude, interrupting, belittling, demanding, and change their minds constantly after assigning tasks to others, management chalks up the attitude and flakiness to differences in personality, if you're not a loan officer you are of little worth to the company and they make you feel it, many employees are on the clock during personal business and even leave for lunch while still clocked-in, relationships between coworkers are borderline creepy sometimes with constant socialization and little work time, management expects employees to bend rules often to get work done that is against policy/compliance, management says "if someone is unhappy they should quit" rather than do their jobs and manage and try to fix the issues, people do not respect your space and dig through your desk to use your personal items like candles, nail files, etc. They will hire you with the promise of performance reviews, wage increases, job responsibilities, etc. then change the agreement and state that's not how its done after you are hired.

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.
