Don't buy the hype! - Underwriter Rocket Employee Review

The hours are a killer! There is no work life balance. Out of my training class only a few months ago 40% of the people have quit and another 20% of them (myself included) are plotting our escape. And let me tell you, when you turn against the culture the company goes from sunshine and lollipops to creepy. If their recruiters find your resume online, expect a meeting with your manager. If you try and leave to go to another bank they will remind of a non-compete clause you signed that prohibits you from going to another company. They work operations people a mandatory 50 hours a week. Plus if you actually want to earn the money that they sold you on, you have to work weekends to get it. And I'm not talking a Saturday here and there. I mean a FULL weekend. I've worked many weekends Friday night through Sunday 20 - 30 hours in order to hit bonuses. They will sell you on unlimited earning potential but keep in mind only a small handfull of the entire underwriting floor is earning a bonus because you have to hit such a high number of loans closed. They may dangle to oportunity to work from home too, but don't be fooled. There are only a couple of people who actually have the production numbers and quality to get this benefit. All of this has convinced me to go back to my original employer.
