Pros

The mostly is most certainly abounds. Many people in their 20's making six figures. The 2 month training is also excellent and feels like college all over again, except you learn more than I thought was possible about Mortgages (not a bad thing at all). The fun and friends end once when you hit the banking floor. (Ask yourself why they are hiring bankers non-stop as well, Serious red-flag)

Cons

In order to make more than 20k+ kind of money you must be willing to work 65-75 hours, with mandatory weekends (even if it's not a scheduled mandatory weekend your director will guilt trip you in front of your team to try to make you come in, saying "Well I guess you just don't want it bad enough" in front of everyone). If you are slightly behind "Numbers" you will be hounded like a hawk and have every call of yours listened into while your director stands behind you yelling what to say. Many many people will quit and you'll find the friends you've made drop like flies (especially any older people who got hired; Though I suspect this is because they know better than to work in this sweat shop). Not to beat the dead horse, BUT DO NOT WORK HERE AS A MORTGAGE BANKER, I'm sure other positions in the company are great as the environment in the workplace is bar none (free snakes, colorful, slushes, Detroit etc). Speaking of other positions in the company, my recruiter made it sound like it would be very easy to transfer once you're there for a year, this is simply not the case and you will get shut down hard for asking. One person I knew got fired for even bringing it up since he was "not committed enough". All in all, you will be bullied, you will be treated extremely disposable, yelled at, and underpaid especially for how much you work. (Oh and did I mention that they keep lowering compensation on commission? BEWARE I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy and could possible taint you forever from corporate life if this is your first job, stay away from this cult. P.s. If you are are a Female you will constantly get harassed and "Helped" by every frat-boy "director" there is in the company. Total sexist boys club.

Pros

Licenses are paid for by the company The early trainings are effective Strong values that help set employees on the right path of actions professionally

Cons

"Limitless compensation" is oversold when there may not be ample opportunities to make a 6 figure income that they might promise. Work/Life Balance is a struggle as it is normal to assume 60+ hour weeks outside of internal sales competitions, and 70+ hour expectations during those periods The work culture can greatly vary based on your director and regional VP. Some are amazing, and care deeply. Others will throw you under the bus without second thought because you are easily replaceable.
