Pros

There are other engineers who are very knowledgeable. The pros end there

Cons

Don’t expect to have a life outside of work. Even when you get all of your work done and mentor others, they’ll demand you put in more time and effort outside of work hours. They don’t pay well, and their benefits are mediocre at best. The culture is really a facade, and almost cult-like. The tech stack is grossly inadequate and their processes will make you hate your job, as you feel like you have one hand tied behind your back every time you try to get anything done. The mandatory annual training is seriously a joke, and a huge waste of time for everyone.

Pros

Culture is good even though they brainwash you into thinking you have a life balance and not work and life balance. They tell you that you can make great money, but only 5% actually make money.

Cons

No time to do anything but work and sleep. Training is torture and they spend more time doing things for you then actually teaching you anything. Also they don't tell you that you will be tortured by dialing 700 calls a day for two months for 12 to 13 hours a day while you wait for your state licenses. They would rather get production than actually teach you any knowledge. If you are single and have no friends this is the job for you. I can't stress enough that you will work 60+ hours a week and they see that as life balance. They preach life balance during every presentation. Based on my calculations I worked 60+ hour weeks and I hit goal every month, but I lost out on my daughter's life achievements. They are a top 10 company to work for if you want to do nothing but work. Also the pulse or HR department is completely worthless. I had questions about benefits when I started and she said she couldn't answer them because she didn't have the plan. I had a director that was 25 years old. He had no leadership skills, but he could press buttons on the computer for me and not teach me a damn thing though. You can't reach someone to be a leader. Most of them are not leaders, but knowledge experts.

Pros

Great training program, technology, support system

Cons

When the company is going bad - if you're smart, you'll see it from a mile away. This company functions much differently than other mortgage companies. They will work you to the bone, with no notice what so ever. Management is drunk off the kool-aid and there is no autonomy whatsoever. You are told you own your own business, but your calls and every single metric is tracked. you are a machine working for them - and now as the market isn't doing so great, they are treating their employees like crap, extending out hours, and RAISING goals to influence them to quit rather than just giving severance pay and laying them off. Pathetic company structure.
