Pros

Great industry training for licensing and how mortgages work. Overall friendly atmosphere and people willing to help you out. There is a lot of money to be made but you really have to put in the hours and learn to tell a client what they want to hear.

Cons

Lied about hours (was told 50/wk max in interview, worked over 70/wk), Lied about pay (was told percentage on loan volume, then it was changed to quantity of loans produced). Only way to make a decent check was to produce a lot of loans, regardless of volume. Would have to work insane hours towards the end of month to hit goals. Impossible to take vacation time or miss a day without being really behind. If a banker did not hit sales or production goals, consequences were enforced such as mandatory Sat and Sun and others I don't want to mention that were WAY out of line.
