Pros

Company does a lot in the community. A lot of hard working colleagues.

Cons

This company has changed drastically. The talk about all the hiring doesn’t talk about the massive amounts of layoffs of older workers. Technology is in absolute shambles and the workers are either terrified of layoffs or confused by direction. They have implemented a new forced distribution performance review, which has been proven to be extremely unsuccessful across all industries, but great way to lay people off.

Pros

Bank Holidays and the vacation time

Cons

They hire knowing there is not enough work to keep you busy, Lack of pay and what they promised to make up for the pay in bonus and OT does not happen. Lack of experienced management who knows what they are doing. QC department that picks on every small detail vs knowing how to get a loan purchased and move on. MOST OF ALL, there is NO training. You are left out in to figure and fend for yourself the M&T Bank way. Lots of useless weekly meetings and the only ones that stay are the long time employees are have no experience working in a "real" mortgage company to know what is right and wrong.
