Pros

Too many specifics to list here, especially without parroting all of the others - outstanding health benefits, discretionary time off (huge for new hires who don't have to wait for years to accumulate time off), morale events, interesting speakers, and the list goes on. The biggest pro is leadership that truly listens to its employee base. In the year I have been here Zillow has stepped up in offering a more aggressive 401k package, top-notch health benefits, more competitive pay scale, option of RSUs vs. options, DTO vs. PTO, and so much more. Every enhanced benefit is in direct response to the collective voice of the personnel. Bottom line - employees are treated as adults and allowed to perform at a high level.

Cons

My position is one of the few still typically still occupied by Boomers in a house full of Millenials, so for those fortunate enough to qualify for a position here later in one's career you better be young at heart to keep up.

Pros

This place is a joke. Worst place I have ever worked toward the end of my employment. They want loan officers to pay for credit reports, appraisals and give back entire commissions on loans that payoff early or default and this comes out of your pay dollar for dollar.

Cons

I could go on and on. Seems like owners are trying to grow the company way to quickly to sell the business as there is a clear cycle of disregard for what continues to happen.

We are sorry that your experience at Mortgage Lenders of America did not meet your expectations. We do wish you the very best in future career endeavors. To clarify, the only time you would be paying the cost of an appraisal would be if a file was originated against policy by ordering that appraisal without first collecting borrower funds. This would be the same case for credit reports that exceed the report budget. These are common practices in the industry. We are confident we have the best compensation package in the business with great leads and awesome management support. As other reviews reflect, we are very dedicated to supporting a positive environment with limitless opportunity for income and success!

Pros

The culture is amazing! The people are the best in the industry! And they take care of their employees.

Cons

Not many cons. I think that the only con would have to be the HR dept lacking proper procedures and etiquette in certain situations. Acting on emotion instead of following employment laws may be happening often.
