Pros

-Amazing company culture. Very anti-corporate, all of my leaders had an open door policy, were typically willing to listen to me. -Great benefits -Great income potential -What you make is based on a blend of your natural talent and what you put into it. They give you the tools to be successful if you keep an open mind and are willing to learn. -Team-oriented approach, great support systems in place.

Cons

-Hours. They're up front with you about how much you'll be working, so you shouldn't be shocked, but talking about it is very different than actually working 50-60 hours a week, typical 6 days out of 7. You can get burned out fast. -Since it's sales, most of your income is based on your own performance. It's important to be aware of up front in case that's not for you ( I loved it) -They have aggressive sales goals for you. Not unobtainable, and not unfair, but you've got to be willing to work hard and put in the hours. -Sometimes the pressure to "put in the hours" can be pretty strong, even when you've worked past the point of efficiency. Typically not in your face, but definitely an "oh, you're leaving already?" vibe that can be off-putting.

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.
