Pros

Daily free catered lunches, fully stocked pantry, caring manager,

Cons

Goals are a lot of the times impossible to achieve, they expect to get 15 apps per day, reviewed perfectly. Will get "dinged" by QA for the smallest things such as nickname vs. full first name among others which will go back to you and will not count as part of your goal. If you work the early morning shift it is possible to achieve, if you work the later shifts you get lots of apps but mostly missing info's or missing doc's. Managers are forced to explain why each team members are not hitting goals every single day. It's such a competitive environment that sometimes other managers that aren't yours are hesitant in helping you because they're focused on hitting their own goals or even above and beyond. Reviewers are forced to do overtime just to make these goals. On average, a reviewer can only complete 13 apps/day. There's work/life balance weighs heavy on work and almost no life. Upper management do not care as long as you hit your numbers or you'll get fired. Since the lawsuits started coming in more and more of the reviewers are fearing being fired. They've come up with a whole bunch of new rules for underwriters to "learn on their own" without training on the new things. Reviewers are at the mercy of QA's & QC's getting "moderates" & "significants" for things that didn't count as moderates and significants just a month ago. Poor managers are also on the spotlight and get in trouble for "losing team members" when the company fires the employees or when they leave voluntarily. They changed hours as of October so people who were getting differentials for working weekends and nights will no longer get differentials. The office environment is very toxic at the moment and they are not letting their employees know that they're moving the entire loan reviews and customer service operations to Salt Lake City, UT.

Pros

You are only required to work from the office 1 day of the week and the rest from home. The Benefit package is great. The company has free snacks, fruits and drinks at the office and it provides the employees with lunch at least once a month while at the office.

Cons

You are literately a modern day slave with low pay and a tone of work. After a few months you have to get upskilled (more work) without any additional compensation. You are constantly evaluated: First call resolution is huge, the goal is for the member not to have to call back in at least a week. The company wants the call to last less than 5 minutes (or you get dinged). The company wants the members to respond to the surveys and if they don't it counts against you. if you go on chats, you will have to serve maneuver between two different once at the same time. You ONLY get a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. It is difficult to go to the restroom because while on the phones there is NO actual bathroom disposition and so you will get dinged and if it takes you longer than 5 minutes you get a message from intrudium informing you that you are out of adherence. The technology is the worse I have ever had to work with. It uses a program called Zscaler that is constantly disconnecting and when it does, it interrupts all of the other programs that are required to work with, in which case you have to inform WFM that you are having tech issues either by telephone or by sending a Workflow and hope it gets approved. While in training you are informed that you will only get paid up to 1 hr while having a tech issue. Workflows are huge and used for everything, including if you are suppose to clock out for the day but you are still on a call and it makes you go over 5 minutes (or you get dinged). Putting in for PTO or Sick Time is also not easy either, it's all about the companies needs so, hopefully you will get approved or maybe not. H.R. is only there a bit while you are hired and of course if you are let go but other than that, not sure what they do because there is no real connection.
