Pros

- Open-minded - Forward Thinking - Genuinely cares about their employees and their professional development - Proactive in bettering internal operations day-to-day - Management is down-to-earth and relatable - Performance is recognized and rewarded quickly through promotion - Compensation structure is vastly better than the industry leaders - I have not crossed paths with anybody that dislikes their job (everybody is happy and that means a lot)

Cons

- You start at the bottom to develop your skills; some view it as a negative, some know it's actually positive. You cannot become the best overnight. You HAVE to have a work ethic and internal drive to succeed. - 401k match could be better, but it's a smaller company with limited resources and pretty good when taking that into account - PTO policy leaves some to be desired but they give you more than the industry average to make up for it. Take your wins with your losses there.

You listed everything we pride ourselves on and continue to strive for. Thanks for the positive review! Unfortunately, the limited space makes it difficult to have both a Ping Pong Table and Pool Table. We agree a gym would be cool.... maybe one day!

Great opportunity to grow

Pros

Successful and knowledgeable management and training staff to assist those who have been in the mortgage industry for years, or those who have never worked for a mortgage company before.

Cons

There is a lot of competition and in the slower winter months sales can decline. We delicately make up for it throughout the year, but the winter time can be difficult to reach your full potential as a loan advisor. Even the successful employees have to dig in a bit more during these months which always keeps us on our toes.
