Pros

Great Training. High energy and positive atmosphere. Good company with a good reputation. No experience Needed.

Cons

The cool-aid is super tasty at first. Boy, they lay it on THICK with the guest speakers, motivational meetings, the ISMs (slogans), the snacks and free lunches while you are in the development region. But sooner or later, you realize it's way worse than every other company with the politics and BS. If you are in with the right people, have drinks at the douche-crowded clubs in Scottsdale and have NO life outside Quicken (this is no exaggeration), then you are Golden. If you dare to take a lunch, break, leave before 7:30 pm and do not come in every weekend, sorry...you will be pushed out, and quickly. They will prop out highly compensated senior bankers from time to time to give you hope and motivation. Sure, some people get to leave before 7 and can work from home, but they are the CHOSEN FEW, their buddies. Sure, some people make 100k a year, but they pay a high price for it and they are in with the directors who are extremely picky by the way. Females- just keeping it real. This is NOT a place for you. Run away. Far, far, away. This is a boy's club and they aren't afraid to let you know you know it. If you feel like gambling on the odds that you will be one of the few they pick so they do not 'appear' to not be sexist, best to you. Someone has to win that Lottery.

Pros

Health Benefits; Remote Availability; Base Salary

Cons

Leadership is lost, Heather Lovier at the helm is driving banking force to the ground. Many bankers going on leave and quitting. Constant change in comp plan for the worse in a difficult rate environment with high inflation in the economy is a recipe for disaster. Team leaders are scared of their own shadows, no say in direction while upper leadership stare at spreadsheets to make decisions instead of having a real pulse on what’s really happening on the front line. Banker morale at an all time low.
