Guild Mortgage

Is this your company?

Horrible. Bosses play favorite and if you aren’t in that group you are treated like dirt - Underwriter Guild Mortgage Employee Review

Pros

Pay is ok, if you kiss their butt and end up being favored then you get to do as you please

Cons

They count all paid time off against you-days that are prescheduled. They allow the favorites to do things that the other people can’t. I was told I had to go to a company get together at a bar in the middle of the afternoon while my child was home sick with pneumonia yet my co worker was allowed to skip the event to go to the gym. I was told my child is old enough to stay home by themselves while sick yet another co worker had to work from home permanently because her partner was in a car accident and shattered her ankle (2years ago) so she can care for her “sick” girlfriend but I can’t care for my sick child. I was regularly marked down for calling in on days that I did not and when I pulled up my punch in punch out sheet to show I was there, they did not care. I was told many times I was late and again and I proved I was actually 16 minutes early that specific day, my boss stood right in front of me and talked about me to my co worker in Spanish. Little did she know I can speak Spanish. I could go on and on. But the worst part is these people are a bunch of drunks. Friday is the big day to get drunk in the office. Bottles of hard liquor, champagne stored in the break room to have on hand every Friday. I know of several loans that were messed up due to one specific underwriter getting drunk and Underwriting loans. I was made to feel like the odd man out pressured to drink every week when they knew I was going to be driving home 15 minutes after “the toast” and that I do not drink. Management likes to tell you what you want to hear and then turn on you as soon as they turn around. They have gone as far as making things up not just exaggerating the truth but completely making up lies to throw you under the bus

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.
