Pros

They offer good health/dental insurance

Cons

If you value having a personal life or any form of work/life balance, do NOT work here. You will work MINIMUM 60 hours a week, including weekends. Directors will text you every Saturday and Sunday and pressure you to work. The money is not as great as they advertise unless you are above goal (fortunately I was at or above goal every month), but if you don't hit goal your pay is terrible since the job is mostly commission and the salary is terrible. Directors gaslight you when you express concerns saying things like "it used to be worse" and "if you care about succeeding and hitting goal you'll do whatever it takes to do so". I could go on and on about the toxicity in this place. It will suck all the joy you have out of your life because all you will do is work. You will be cold calling all day and the company calls the same customers minimum 4 times a day. It is truly terrible.

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.
