Guild Mortgage reviews

I totally bought into the Corporate culture idea of Guild Mortgage, even though I had previously been let go in a Reduction in Force. I went back to work for them and for 2 1/2 years worked between 10 plus to 11 plus hour per day. Searching for some work/life balance I took a UW Liaison position with promises from my boss that if there was ever another Reduction in Force eliminating my position I could transition back to my prior Underwriter III position. Instead, they hired a new UW from Corporate to work for the SLC Ops Center and then 2 weeks later laid me off despite the promises that had been made. DON'T BELIEVE what they say about their Corporate culture, they use you, wring you dry and then discard you like you are nothing.

Slow moving. Lack of decision-making at the leadership level. Top-level leadership doesn't want to hear bad news and will "shoot the messenger" - which has created an echo chamber of BS and self-kudos. Employee performance issues are rarely addressed, which has created an environment where good employees are dumped on and burn out. Most of the leaders have grown with Guild and worked there forever, which means there's a lack of outside perspective. Almost no upward mobility for employees. If you would like a promotional opportunity or meaningful pay increase prepare to go to battle. Leadership seems to only value what is "shiny and new" - so programs and processes are poorly and quickly revamped or thrown together in order to temporarily pacify Management. The long-term quality or viability of these programs or processes often is questionable at best.
