Pros

None really. You get to meet a lot of young people that are easy to relate to and chill

Cons

Wow where to begin. The way this company hires and treats its new mortgage bankers is criminal. The hours are long. 60-80 hours. Management is brainwashed and only cares about $ and instant results. The company really only hires college aged kids with minimal experience. They then set super high expectations for you and your minimal experience. The training here is not very good. Yes the training for passing SAFE is good, and so is Blueprint training, but those two aspects are nothing like the mortgage banking position. One of my uncles has 25 years fortune 300+ ceo experience. He was appalled at this firms style for new employees. Managements view seems to be wow it was very hard for me, so there's no reason newer employees shouldn't be run through the grinder just as hard. That's not how a company evolves and grows. It evolves by adapting and making it easier for new employees. Not 1 time in training were we encouraged to shadow the actual position. If I was there in mgt and knew of the 65%-75% 1st year TO ratio, I'd be encouraging that just a little. Blueprint mgt needs to wake up and realize BP is about 25X easier than the real job. They seem to think it prepares you very well for the position when this firms TO ratios indicate otherwise. Sure you can brag about your JD award that is bought buy wealth or your standing in market share, but you're working your employees 2x longer than those in the industry...

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.
