No amount of money could keep me here

Pros

401k matching with no vesting period, but the matching is pretty low compared to Navy Federal. They subsidize healthcare so it costs very little for a minimal plan. Decent educational benefit (up to 75% of tuition!) if you are willing to sell your soul. You will meet a few folks (worker bees as others have put) who will be some of the best humans you ever met--they will inspire you with their stories and you will enjoy making their acquaintance.

Cons

I have never in my life worked for such an incompetent, disorganized, and above all things, unprofessional (toxic) organization. Only come here if you think being humiliated and mocked in front of colleagues and third party vendors is fun or "motivating you to do your best," or as another reviewer stated, if you are facing homelessness. If you believe in professionalism and respect in the workplace, run as far away as you can if you get a job offer; I know I wish I had....

Pros

Decent vacation and health benefits. Co-workers are great people for the most part. There's parking available.

Cons

They call themselves a destination employer but I don't think they know what that means. They run it like a small corner bodega with a leadership that likes to micro manage (at least mortgages) but thinks that because there's a new CEO that bought new modern offices they are a hip start up and it's a privilege to work there. Complete hypocrites that will not reward even employees that make a positive difference (because they might not have a degree; although they themselves only got their degree within the last 10 years), probably because they might steal their lime light. HR is not there to protect the employee, but the company. Organizational loyalty is not rewarded and personal loyalty, perhaps, until that person gets the boot. Training is non-existent so you'll be stuck in your position or set up for failure if you show initiative and get promoted, unless you like doing your superior's job on top of your own AND play your cards right with someone even higher up, otherwise, they might not notice your effort, then, you'll be on your own.

Pros

My co-workers & time off are the only good things in the whole entire place.

Cons

Everything else is terrible and nobody should work there if you care about your happiness in the least.
