Pros

No pros at all

Cons

The company is a thief !!! They have lots of corporate politics going on and your performance as employee doesn't matter. I worked for 4 years and micro managed to the second and lots discrimination goes in within the company !!! Minority's are not accounted for and they know how to falsify stuff on you a corporate way which nothing can be done but one day will catch on to them !! They talk about being ethical but they should be ethnically themselves before preaching to others

Pros

None. Classic bait and switch.

Cons

All I can say is.. don't do it! I was promised training to gain more experience/certifcation to lure me there and once I started everything changed. They are quick to brag about" PennyMac cares about your career path" but that is far from the truth. They hired several of us and had no formal training plan or on-boarding process for new underwriters. I have been there 2 1/2 months and not underwritten 1 live loan. I'm DE and have nearly 7 years recent underwriting experience and 20 years in the business. I've never seen anything like this. It is a disorganized mess and one department has no idea what the other is doing. I spoke up about concerns I have with the discrepancy between what I was told in my interview vs. the treatment I've received since starting (ie: sketchy training)The corporate risk review department seems to not want to support my getting proper training or being successful. So now my supervisor is apparently out to get me for rocking the boat. If you like drinking Kool-Aid go for it. Otherwise steer clear.
