Pros

Great benefits, great training program for SAFE, ability and support for short term disability, amazing HR team

Cons

You’re going to be working a minimum of 60 hours every week with only one day off. They drill their culture down your throat so hard you believe that you’re in your “dream job” or that things will “never be better anywhere else”. Their way of selling loans didn’t feel like they had the clients best interest. It’s a high pressure production sales job. It’s not financial advisement or even real banking. You will work 7 am to 8 pm every day. Your pay checks are around $1,000 every two weeks for 60+ hours a week. Leads are filtered & mainly crap when you start out. Your goal will be 25+ loans for barely $3,000. You’re going to constantly go through meetings where your RVP will try to hype people up. You’re also taught to befriend people get them to trust you, ask about their family & then push ARM’s on someone who may not even benefit from one. The cult culture and insane work hours makes it hard to leave. If you have a family stay far far away from this place. It’s a dream of success and 90% of people quit before they get to it. I had to mentally recover from working here for 6 months. I almost had a total mental breakdown. Luckily I caught it soon enough and everyone I loved begged me to leave. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

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.
