Pros

Great concept. Great initial training. Smart and respectable owners.

Cons

As the company grows, the founders see less of how things run and the local upper Management are desperate to save their jobs at the expense of dedicated employees. The company is not run the way it was intended, by the core values instilled upon hire. Instead, it becomes every man for himself in an endless game of who can get the lenders on their side so they will show up to work and do their job and get loans closed, so your office can meet its numbers.The lenders pick who ever has the most clout in the company for fear of having no work at all. So offices are neglected as there is also a shortage of man power and the few lenders avail scurry to assist the higher ranking manager and his office. Rules regarding the length of time for contracts are ignored behind the scenes and the corporate officials never catch the inaccuracies because there is always warning prior to their arrival. They see numbers so all seems well. Lack of maturity from upper Management also an issue. Threatening and dysfunctional atmosphere.

Pros

Absolutely none, terrible position unless you are in a "great" community. They build in crappy places and expect people to pay top dollar.

Cons

Stay far away! For this position you will be under paid and over worked. They guarantee sales people 500 leads minimum a year. What they don't tell you is that 98% are garbage. The other 2.99% are desperate people with some of the worst credit you've ever seen. Then you have the .01% that can actually purchase a home. And they expect a minimum of 18 closings for sales people. They want to run everything like it is in Texas but news flash, all markets are different. Some need a different approach. And no one will listen to someone who's been in the local market for years. Pre crash and post crash of 08. I told them exactly what to do to make us a producing market and it fell on deaf ears. Then I was promised a promotion for doubling my team size, community count and responsibilities. Then when the time came. They said nah. Systems based company? Yea ok. What a joke. Wasted 2 years of my life here and walked away from a blossoming career I already had on the promise of big money that never came. Stay as far away as you can!!!
