Being part of the pioneer company and LEADER in its field, on the cutting edge of mortgage technology. Innovative, fast-paced, exciting and energetic group! Employees are listened to, respected, valued, trusted, treated well, and paid well. Provides flex work hours, lavish amenities, and a team of fun, friendly, brilliant people who truly care about your well being. Management assists with setting goals, outlining clear expectations, and provides ongoing feedback. Mgmt and mentors guide employees toward career advancement.

Pros

Good remote work. Full stop.

Cons

The company operates on a very tight budget and was understaffed during my tenure. As a result, you will be expected to cover 3+ roles simultaneously and work well over 8 hours a day to keep up with management’s expectations. Consider it only if you are passionate about the second mortgage industry (???). This is the only company I regret having on my resume.
