Pros
it was really really good before going public Great team members Good benefits
Cons
It really pains me to write this but I’ll try my best to do this so everyone who is reading this can know what they are getting themselves into before signing up to work for this place. I want to add that this company was excellent before it went public, the company truly cared for their employees and they were super understanding about everything, those were the best years of my career. However, it went public and literally everything went downhill from there and it is still going downhill. The senior leaderships no longer care about anyone but the shareholders, all of this trickles down to the team members who helped this company become what it is today. They do not care about team members, period. Greed got to them, they increase goals when there isn’t enough loans in the pipeline, they over worked everyone and people started quitting left and right and they fired people left and right as well. They try to make bad changes as good change, they would put on a big show boasting about how amazing all these changes are when in reality, it does not benefit the team members, it only benefits the higher ups and shareholders. Everything they do or say is extremely shady. I loved my career, however I no longer enjoyed working for the company, I felt like I was disrespecting myself every time I clocked in. I believe the only reason why people give them such high ratings here is possibly becuase they are new (maybe working for 2 yrs or less). And also, Rocket mortgage has a really good way of making you think you’re working for the best company ever, they really get you drunk on that “koolaid” until you start to think you really do work for the best company. It is only when you have been working for sometime you start to notice your life has changed for the worst, you literally grind all day long with no work life balance. Also, one of the worst thing a company can say is “we are family” no we are not. It is a manipulative tactic, to keep saying that, it subconsciously draws you in and you began to feel like you must protect the company at all cost, again until you wake up and realize you’ve been drugged for sometime. Don’t get me started on the isms….they’re not the worst, every company has a culture and this is okay, but it’s just bad when they do not follow what they preach. Again, isms are used very loosely after the company went public, higher ups would say something so ridiculous and add a random ism to support. All in all, I’m very disappointed to see where this company is heading, once it went public everything with it went down, also there was a change in leadership, and it got even worse. If you’re desperate, by all means go for it find a job here for sometime but be aware of what the low ratings because they’re all true (notice how most of them talk about the same thing), but if you are not desperate, please do yourself a big favor and move over to something different
