Pros
- Amazing Culture - Opportunity to learn & grow - Bonus potential -Guidance through licencing process Overall Homeside has been an awesome place to work. I have worked in a few different industries and had minimal financial experience before starting here about 2 months ago. In my short time I have had the opportunity to work with other industry newcomers as well as seasoned professionals. My goal is to be a licensed loan officer very soon. Fortunately, Homeside has a strong process and team in place to guide newbies and pros alike through the process of becoming a loan officer. I'm currently an Account Manager, which is a perfect way to get introduced to the industry. I been able to sharpen my sales skills in a positive and educational environment. I have also built some great relationships with colleagues and leadership while in this role. I would encourage anyone who steps in this role to do so with a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and strong work ethic. If you do, you WILL find success and will be prepared when you're promoted to Loan Officer or one of the numerous other opportunities that exist here at Homeside. Overall Homeside is a work hard play hard atmosphere. If you put in the ffort, you will have success. The culture is amazing, it seems like there is always a happy hour to look forward to, a milestone to celebrate, and great people to share it all with.
Cons
The downsides of working at Homeside are minimal. I would simply say that when you first are on-boarding, be prepared to hit the ground running. If you plan on moving forward with the Loan Officer route, you will need to pass the NMLS SAFE ACT Test. Homeside provides the resources to be successful, but it can be challenging to study while also starting a new role. My suggestion if you're hired is to request study/ education materials before you begin. Anything you can do prior to your first day will give you an edge.
