Pros

Great benefits, great culture morals, pay was decent for the role.

Cons

- Don't move people up as quickly as they should. It took me on average over a year to get out of any associate position, when I was performing at higher levels and it was documented. - Expect you to work extra hours when you are salary - Currently (2025) the company is going through a lot of changes and acquisitions, so more people are bound to be laid off and cut

Pros

training and paid licensing is a big benefit. Get that in and get out like most people do.

Cons

very much a boys club- some women can join. If you are 18- 30, white male you will do great assuming you have mastered the art of sucking up to leadership and their large egos and like drinking a lot of Kool-Aid. They will work you like a dog and if you burn out it does not matter they will still expect more. They like hiring the young coked out, Adderall junkies with zero experience and call them mortgage prodigies while you scratch your head wondering how....those are the ones that seem to get the most leads, write them and close them blowing everyone with experience out of the water. They will rob you of hard earned money and act like they are gifting you something elaborate if they approve your PTO.... which is supposed to be a benefit that an employee earns. If they like you, they will make you "successful " and if you are not in the club, you are on your own and if they don't like you, they will make life there miserable and almost impossible to succeed. All the genuine leaders and Directors that care... get demoted and or leave. A lot of good people come and go. There may be a few that stay but if one leader has issue with you they ALL will have an issue with you. Self preservation is real among the directors .

Shrinking Under New Leadership

Pros

Overall collegial atmosphere within the overall organization. ISMs (when respected/followed by senior leadership) can help provide clarity into the WHY behind many business decisions. Love my teammates and immediate leadership.

Cons

Director-level and up is RIFE with WHO is right, not WHAT is right. Pay is abysmal. Depending on the role, you'll nearly double your salary doing the same thing elsewhere. Benefits are mid to bottom tier in terms of corporate offerings. Director-level and up tenure is shockingly long (10+yrs), while rank-and-file & team leader tenure is 2-3yrs at most. This reeks of cronyism and it's evident in many business areas. New CEO (Varun Krishna) seems to be stripping the org for parts and streamlining. Business areas like RKT Homes, Loans, and other niche, low-revenue generating areas should likely dust off their resumes. Compensation philosophy is to hire kids fresh out of school or folks in career transitions who don't know how poorly they're paid and milk them for as long as possible. Once you're spent, they'll lay you off with a meager severance.
