Pros

Culture is good even though they brainwash you into thinking you have a life balance and not work and life balance. They tell you that you can make great money, but only 5% actually make money.

Cons

No time to do anything but work and sleep. Training is torture and they spend more time doing things for you then actually teaching you anything. Also they don't tell you that you will be tortured by dialing 700 calls a day for two months for 12 to 13 hours a day while you wait for your state licenses. They would rather get production than actually teach you any knowledge. If you are single and have no friends this is the job for you. I can't stress enough that you will work 60+ hours a week and they see that as life balance. They preach life balance during every presentation. Based on my calculations I worked 60+ hour weeks and I hit goal every month, but I lost out on my daughter's life achievements. They are a top 10 company to work for if you want to do nothing but work. Also the pulse or HR department is completely worthless. I had questions about benefits when I started and she said she couldn't answer them because she didn't have the plan. I had a director that was 25 years old. He had no leadership skills, but he could press buttons on the computer for me and not teach me a damn thing though. You can't reach someone to be a leader. Most of them are not leaders, but knowledge experts.

Pros

Strong technical stack and real ownership of enterprise reporting. Complex servicing and NPL data gives senior analysts room to build governance, dimensional models, and end-to-end pipelines with genuine business impact. Skilled peers and access to large regulated datasets (FNMA, FHLMC, HUD) that sharpen your craft.

Cons

Heavy reliance on undocumented legacy systems that fall on individual contributors to reverse engineer. Knowledge concentration creates single points of failure and inconsistent handoff when people leave. Org changes and shifting priorities can outpace documentation and process maturity.
