Pros

-Remote and Hybrid Options -Good Benefits -Some Flexibility in schedules

Cons

-Subpar pay (for the amount of work your expected to do) -Upper management only sees data, not the people that work for them. -Upper management creates fake problems to solve to look like a hero -Blatant favoritism -No advancement opportunities for CA employees due to cost -Exhaustive communication review overload with understaffed teams. -Gaslighting is insane -Unrealistic expectations to finish workload leaves us scrambling at the end of each month -Hard to take what little PTO we earn -Managers spout that accountability is being held but anyone can see the inconsistencies in certain team members on a monthly basis. -Upper management doesn’t listen to their employees and is completely unapproachable

First and foremost, thank you for the 9+ years you have dedicated to working at SoFi - wow, what a journey. We have seen an insane amount of change and growth during your time here. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. That said, we are very disappointed to hear your experience is not meeting your expectations. What you describe is not indicative of the culture we are trying to build nor the work environment we are committed to fostering. We know that building a great culture starts with excellent managers, who are equipped with the skills and support to lead their teams in fair, equitable, and inclusive ways. That's why our manager excellence programs are such a critical part of our L&D journey, and we continue to evolve our offerings to help them develop. With regards to compensation, we frequently review employee compensation to ensure it is fair and competitive based on external market data and individual performance. Lastly, as you may know, this year we launched our formal internal mobility program which is designed to support our employees in growing their careers at SoFi. Reach out to our team if you want to learn more about how we can support your career growth. If you feel comfortable, we'd love to connect so we can further understand your concerns and address them head on. You can reach out to your PBP or email me directly at glassdoor@sofi.org). You're right. Happy employees = happy members and we hope we can improve your experience. Take care.

Pros

Benefits that's about it, it is super inexpensive.

Cons

the upper ups are all just looking out for each other and not the employees. Delayed commissioned in two occasions when I was there, in one of the occasions there was an email sent to the sales floor on a Monday giving us life lessons from a vacation taken in Montana while Golfing. The same week our commission was delayed. The products available are little to none, they will tell you they are working on getting new products, but it seems to always get delayed. They pay you 15 bps per loan which is probably the lowest in the mortgage industry, The products are overpriced and most "members" will shop you and go elsewhere once Sofi denies matching or beating an offer. Benefits are great but prepare to work double when you comeback from a doctor's appointment. All files are outsourced to loan fulfillment, you will get several processors assigned to the file at different times and begin the process all over again due to the neglect of each processor. Sofi will still blame you for having files drop when you had all your ducks in a row. They will feed you in office, but that's because you are getting paid pennies.

Hello, and thank you for your candid feedback. We are always looking to learn, iterate, and innovate - and we can't do that without constructive feedback like yours. We are very sorry to hear your time at SoFi did not meet your expectations. While we're happy you enjoy some of the benefits we offer employees, your other comments are not indicative of the environment we are working hard to create. We know the current market is making this job even more difficult, but let us assure you - leadership is aware of these challenges and are doing everything in their power to improve. For example, leadership is having regular round table discussions with the team to understand concerns, and has action plans in place to address them. Additionally, our current fulfillment vendor is staffing up and making changes so they can best support us. Thanks again for the review, and best of luck.

Hi there! Really appreciate your thoughtful review, and are disheartened to hear working at SoFi isn't meeting your expectations. Your comments are not indicative of the culture nor work environment we are trying to build. We know that having a 'best in class' culture starts with excellent leaders, which is why Manager Excellence is the #1 focus area for our Learning & Development team. We continue to roll out training, resources, and support for our managers so they can lead and support their teams. If you do not feel you're getting what you need from your manager or from a training perspective, please please reach out to us so we can address your feedback and concerns head on. You can reach out to your PBP or email me at glassdoor@sofi.org. We sincerely hope we can improve your experience at SoFi. Take care.
