Out of touch - Compliance Guild Mortgage Employee Review

Pros

Headquarters is in San Diego

Cons

The company is in the midst of multiple layoffs. Employees are on edge about losing their jobs while simultaneously being overworked trying to keep up with acquisitions as Guild gobbles up competitors. Market conditions are being cited for reduced budgets and slashed bonuses, and despite record inflation squeezing pocketbooks employee merits have been delayed for months and have been uncoupled from performance reviews so that the company no longer has to address not paying for performance. Our CEO will be retiring soon and in a town hall this week (pre-recorded so that employees cannot ask questions) she gleefully declared that even in retirement she will “still be coming on our sales incentive trips!” — as if flying her to party with our sales teams on all-expense-paid vacations is a real value-add and good use of company funds? This is just one example to show how out-of-touch and delusional the leadership team truly is. Line employees are suffering right now and bloated, overpaid Execs are making sure they get theirs while gutting employee benefits like vacation accrual payouts and bonuses, taking away Christmas Eve as a paid holiday, not offering stock to longtime employees when we went public, etc. HR hides all bad news in fine print while Execs get mega rich off of employee’s backs.

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.
