Pros
This has held me over as a placeholder while I look for better opportunities elsewhere. The other employees were cool.
Cons
Again this was a placeholder, the pathetic "base salary" (it's really a draw you'll never cover) and the low BPS are not attractive for experienced loan officers. The wArM lEaDs (the piles of subprime credit score files) are hot garbage in a slowed down market and yet they keep spewing the "high growth, we're hiring new people" BS. Not one mortgage company in the country is busy enough right now to be bringing on dozens at a time. The software and systems used are antiquated and they use the cheap low end version of Salesforce. "Sales" trainings are laughable. Managers/Team Leads or "SVP's" as a they like to call themselves to inflate their egos, will not support you and will make you feel stupid when you're all still lost weeks in. SVP/AVPs at actual banks and reputable lenders would laugh if they witnessed this company. On top of all of these existing cons, if you are brought on as a remote employee, you will not be properly trained on any of it. We worked with the trainer for maybe two hours a day and were told to work through the curriculum for the other hours. It was absolutely demoralizing. Managers/Team Leads or "SVP's" as a they like to call themselves to inflate their egos, will not support you and will make you feel stupid when you're all still lost weeks in. I didn't speak to my team lead 1 on 1 for my entire first month and the first time I did it was a reminder of why I continued to spend any free time applying to legitimate companies.
