Pros

Best training and they pay you to train.

Cons

ridiculous goals and hours. 12 hours every day plus some Saturdays. I don't know how people are able to take all the crap from the directors, they will treat you like a dog. Since their pay is dependent on your production they don't care if you lie about other company's practices do what ever it take to get that client. Leave your morals and dignity out at the door before you come to work every day. I know their ads says no cold calling but guess what they will give leads that have already been worked by senior bankers. So if the senior banker was turned down and was not successful at getting the business from that client how am I the rookie can do better. Be prepared that most of the leads you call will tell you that they already talked to quicken loans banker and that banker was not able to help them or they didn't qualify or they are not interested and have already told quicken loans to stop calling. Guess what you have to call these clients again tomorrow. You have to call all your leads twice a day every day. Oh one more thing that they will make you sign when you work for them, if you leave their company you can't work for another mortgage lender for 9 months. I didn't know about that until I left.

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.
