Pros

The compensation is awesome for a starting level sales position. The training is good, you'll know more about mortgages then you ever thought you could after only a few weeks. Lots of growth opportunity. Benefits are great.

Cons

They claim the "normal work day" is 8:30-5:30 unless your director specifies more. Well...your director specifies more...every day....every week. If you don't mind 9am-10pm shifts monday-friday, with 2+ Saturdays a month and a Sunday or two, then this may be the place for you. Be ready to be a very pushy salesman 12+ hours a day. I previously mentioned the training is great...well the classroom training is. After that you're thrown in to everything and left to fend to yourself. Some survive, most don't. If you can fight through the training and get to being a banker you'd think "I finally made it." The fact is...you just made it to 70 hour weeks in down town Detroit.

Pros

Knowledge rich, great culture, and a lot of remarkable people to work with

Cons

if you're in sales, you will not have much of a life outside of your team, but that's on you to have a good time with them

Pros

Licenses are paid for by the company The early trainings are effective Strong values that help set employees on the right path of actions professionally

Cons

"Limitless compensation" is oversold when there may not be ample opportunities to make a 6 figure income that they might promise. Work/Life Balance is a struggle as it is normal to assume 60+ hour weeks outside of internal sales competitions, and 70+ hour expectations during those periods The work culture can greatly vary based on your director and regional VP. Some are amazing, and care deeply. Others will throw you under the bus without second thought because you are easily replaceable.
