Terrible business practice - zero regard for their employees

Business Outlook

Pros

Not much good to say here beyond a few friends made in the office

Cons

Very low pay on percentage of loan sold until you can atleast become a senior. You will need to work well beyond scheduled hours and you may make a very small bonus. Also, terrible business practices and fire employees on the spot without any warning. Thus leaving them out to dry. Any day could be your last here and you can expect zero help/information from the HR team. No performance plans or warnings are used either. (Unless the team you were in likes you. There is no system they use to determine these things) You’ll get 1 email talking about your final pay date and they will then ignore you if you have any more questions. Absolutely, a terrible experience leaving the company and would not recommend working here or putting any family friends through the process either.
