Pros

Great training program, technology, support system

Cons

When the company is going bad - if you're smart, you'll see it from a mile away. This company functions much differently than other mortgage companies. They will work you to the bone, with no notice what so ever. Management is drunk off the kool-aid and there is no autonomy whatsoever. You are told you own your own business, but your calls and every single metric is tracked. you are a machine working for them - and now as the market isn't doing so great, they are treating their employees like crap, extending out hours, and RAISING goals to influence them to quit rather than just giving severance pay and laying them off. Pathetic company structure.

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.
