Rocket reviews

They expect 150 % out of you every minute of the day ( 8am until 10 pm) if you leave your desk for more than a 20 minute lunch you will be treated badly and considered a slacker by your superiors. If you don't work at least 70 hours a week you will be fired. The influence and persuasion of the clients is pushed to the point of embarrassment, like con artists. You will be fired if you have a regular intelligent conversation with a client or a realtor and do not follow the script, there is a script for every single play and every single client objection. I was lied to about the time it takes before you can actually get on the banking floor, they said 3 months it was 7, living on 9 dollars an hour for that long when you have a mortgage, car payment and other bills is basically impossible. I had clients that had their loans denied right before closing and were left homeless, who does that? If you are young ( 20 to 26) can handle being a puppet, require only 5 hours or less of sleep per night and can handle the constant threats of being fired, then this is the place for you.

The hours are inhumane - 11-12 hour days, sometimes longer, no excuses. Every saturday unless you are hitting very high sales numbers, and if you aren't you are expected to be there regardless of how many hours you have worked that week. Your day is comprised of sitting at a desk and calling. That is it. If you are not on the phone, you will be sure to hear about it and explain why you are not calling to your director. you are not allowed to go out for lunch, you must bring it back to your desk and eat while you continue to work. I told myself before accepting the job that I could work long hours and was ok with it, but in the end, when it boils down to it, those hours are very long when you are doing the exact same thing with no breaks, reading the same piece of paper every call. The environment is very wild. See the movie boiler room. You will be placed at a desk in the middle of hundreds of other bankers all grouped together. Balls and objects flying at you and over your head at all times with loud music in the background that customers complain about. If you are not ok with a high-pressure, overall crazy environment, this will not be a good place for you. If you are not ok with stepping outside of your comfort zone, sometimes even to do things unethically or unprofessionally, this will not be a good fit for you. They hire in almost 200 people a month. Some with good 4 year degrees, some with GED's. I was told from a director that they do not drug test for a reason, and that is half the company would be gone.
