Pros

You get leads provided to you. They are garbage. They used to be good until they changed the lead source, now it is absolute garbage. Also, Homeside tells its employees to post 5 star reviews on glassdoor... So if a company tells its employees to post 5 star reviews, chances are the company is not 5 stars

Cons

Commission Only job. Garbage leads combined with commission only equals awful pay. There is a draw, but you pay back the draw. Therefore this is a commission only job with garbage leads.

As mortgage rates change and new products become available we adjust our lead buying strategy to stay competitive. If a lead source isn't working as intended, it's recognized and changes are made. We ask employees to leave honest reviews on Glassdoor, so prospective employees can get a sense for what it's like working at Homeside. We appreciate all feedback and make continuous improvements to make Homeside a best place to work.

Pros

Homeside was a fast-growing company boasting innovative technology and glossy offices. The entire C-Suite is sharp and charismatic, which powered their initial growth. Management is willing to help those who remain assertive. Compared to their more established peers, Homeside is a viable entry-level opportunity for an LO in search of a crash course in the basics. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to learn the rules of the game.

Cons

Unfortunately, the culture is no different from other upstart lenders hoping to gain sizable market share in the bloated mortgage industry. Surely, this is why they are losing steam and closing many of the offices they opened in their infancy. Commonplace digital tactics are disguised as groundbreaking. They nonsensically justify the use of outdated platforms and processes and impart passive-aggressive sales tactics as game changing. If you're an established LO, Homeside is probably not the best fit. As a whole, Homeside lacks the ambition or follow-through to overtake their peers.
