Pros

Nice office, some opportunity. Lots of opportunity if you are a diversity hire

Cons

White horse business model: they pump leads to a select few loan officers who make substantially more than the average loan officer. The average loan officer thinks they can make that much but Management lies - there’s no work life balance and you are a number just like Loan Depot. You’ll get fired if you work your minimum hours. Even if you go all out and work 7 days a week and be available for their agents all the time, you’ll still only make barely enough to scrape by. You’d be better off taking a salary job somewhere else than work 90 hours a week for $100k here

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).
