Pros

this is the most poorly managed retail lending company out there.

Cons

Mariner Finance is a joke. They are financed by a large equity fund in MD and all they really want is to put $$ on the street - the compliance with state laws and policies they create are just for show.

Pros

From my experience, overall good people. Depending on who your management is - they are encouraging to see you succeed and hopefully become promoted.

Cons

The industry (the amount customers pay in interest - how can you actually be really helping them when they are in need), occasional stressful working environment, the dreaded collection calls. Only reason why I wouldn't recommend it to a friend is because my personality doesn't belong in this field.
