Pros

Very little if any. Employment is a pro while you look for another job. Air conditioning and running water. Restrooms and break rooms

Cons

Where do I start? The managers think they're God's gift. Sad truth is they are all yes men. Their rates are excessively high purposely to steer borrowers back into Fha products which benefit the company more than the borrowers. These guys are Countrywide 2 but nowhere near as good. Rampant violations of the law are common place and if the CFPB paid them a visit, they would be shut down. Corporate thugs that need a taste of their own medicine

Pros

Good team and good cafeteria

Cons

-micromanagement heaven -you want a promotion? Too bad a DEI hire from outside the company is going to take it instead -they love pulling the rug from under you with a new comp plan “to match industry standards”. -they treat their processors like they’re kids in a sweat shop so the processors have no incentive to care about your file (they give them peanuts as a quarterly bonus) -they have RCT spies to watch everything you do and snitch to your manager/ set your lunches / decide if your time is approved -they act like it’s the best place to work but it’s absolutely not
