Pros

The pay is great, benefits (so, so, high deductibles), flexible work schedule and able to work from local living home 3 days a week.

Cons

It's all about the numbers and not quality, a lot of transition at the moment and unforeseen future as well right now. Up until now lower management has only hired based on brown nosing and not a persons qualifications (no matter what they say).

Pros

Company's mission does help American families finance and stay in their houses. Teamwork is overall encouraged and functioning. Company does promote and implement work/life balance initiatives, if you work under the right SVP who cares.

Cons

Continuing cost cutting and nonstop reorg lead to regular layoffs for the last several years. New senior management team instigate more control and procedures that cause more overhead, less work completed, thus lower the operatonal risk by implementing fewer projects. More meetings to discuss about work than actually doing work. Value outside new hires than promote from within, especially at the senior management/officer level.

Pros

Nice people, interesting work, good location, good pay and benefits.

Cons

Executive management is eliminating full-time positions and making the layoff survivors do more work to take up the slack. This has created an atmosphere of fear and desperation.
