Pros
They have one of the best training program I have seen in a long time. Its an opportunity for an an aggressive self-starter to move up quickly. Good working environment in the branches and the systems that are used are beginning to be up to date and user friendly. Depending ion the area, there is superior support from upper management and well skilled subordinates as well as a.strong bonus program but changes like the wind and its hard to follow. The products are typical for this industry but will never be a pioneer in this area.
Cons
Too many changes and sometimes the changes do not work well such as system or policy changes. Like most other industries, the push is to do more with less people and without overtime. The company does not seem to know what kind of lender they want to be yet. Quantity versus quality seems to be an everyday struggle. It is strictly results driven and as soon as they see a sub-standard performance they consider termination. Some senior management can be extremely harsh and unprofessional. There is some "good ole boy" mentality which does transcend to the women as well. There seems to be private club among them and staffs feel it is "us against them". Those considering this company, be sure you can work with the person you will report to and call some current and previous employees to be sure. Be very careful. This company is spending money like they don't ever pay it back. The rumor is that they have a 5 year plan and I wonder who will own Lendmark then?
