Pros

There are no pros on working at this place accept maybe "having a job"

Cons

Company is called PennyMac, but it is really old Countrywide. The relationships and practices are very similar to that culture. Employment practices are the worst, these are a bunch of greedy executives, trying to pay the least amount possible to their employees while they get full bonuses, stocks and very high salaries. They would change your title not your salary, they would cut your bonus even though your reviews had been terrific, you would not get a salary raise ever because they do not belive in salary raises. All this is done while the executives fly a corporate jet. Owner Stan has to sign every single raise however big or small it is, and he does not like signing.

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
