Pros

I'll start out by saying MLOA is the best place I've ever worked in my 25 year career, and that's competing with a company earlier my career that sent me to the Superbowl 4 years in a row. By the end of my interview and after meeting my Manager and Director, I knew this was going to be a great fit and career move. My manager leadership begins and ends with being in the trenches with everyone, he knows his stuff, he hates it when I call him boss ( he really does ) I've already learned many skills from him that I would consider to be total game changer. My Director has ultra in-depth knowledge of the industry and his leadership sets the tone for the entire division. There's no micro managing of adults and professionals and guess what ? its produced self motivated professionals, that know the fruits are within reach if you work hard enough to achieve it. Training is two weeks in a classroom setting, then you're on the floor doing the job, your manager and peers are within an arm reach to help you. They won't let you drown, the training is on going with perfectly time courses. It wasn't until the other day I had realized how much it helped me that the training was organized the way it was ! starting with being too overwhelming ! This opportunity has also given my bilingual status a new meaning, with not many Spanish speaking Loan Officers in the industry. I view this as a golden opportunity to help my culture become 1st time homeowners, while providing a full understanding of a complex transaction. It brings me great joy to hear my borrowers thank me for being in my position, because they are no longer intimidated by the process. If you're a slacker or mediocre and just want a paycheck, then don't waste your time nor a slot here at MLOA !! If you're a hardworking, and have a will to win ! this is your place. If you're a bilingual, please stay away - this is a horrible place for you !! just kidding .. more the merrier !! lol Es la mejor compania en la ciudad, y la pontencial es lo maximo para un professional bilingue ! Cuenta con mucho trabajo y mucho potencial para ganar un ingreso alto !

Cons

There's isn't any ! if I were to say one thing ... They officially don't celebrate taco Tuesdays lol

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
