Pros
- don’t need a college degree - they pay for all licensing, SAFE, and training -the pay is decent, 15/hour in training and then $10 an hour +commission in banking. I was making about $5-$15k per month depending on performance. -coworkers were all nice and I liked my team -full benefits, 401k matching, stock options, PTO
Cons
- run by people of low intellect and little knowledge of anything but the mortgage industry.. if that - you bust your butt to make that money, working an average of 60+ hours a week - you are harped on when you request any time off and made to feel super guilty about NOT working extra -when you train for your banking position they throw you into it with little to no training and expect you to preform. -you are typically required to come in 2 hours earlier than scheduled and leave 2 hours later. -every single regional or company meeting is trying to sell you on the company and convince you why you should love it. (red flag… ) -the job at hand is mundane and redundant. You sit in front of the computer all day every day punching answers and numbers into a questionnaire and mortgage calculator. -everyone tells you to stick around and that you’ll be rolling in cash in 3 years.. but I’d rather not waste 3years of my life dreading every waking moment. -lead flow is majority garbage (as a lot of other sales positions) and you will spend 90% of your time being told to screw off. -they preach “do the right thing” yet seem to only care about production and pushing consumers into loans that really make little sense for them I guess if you are in need of little to no mental stimulation, you love talking about mortgages, sitting on your butt and staring at a computer mindlessly for 65 hours a week and getting told to F off with almost every phone call you answer.. this is the jobbbb for you!
