Pros

Benefits, stock options, great opportunities to be in different peer groups for support

Cons

Working 12+ hours a day and still not enough time to keep up with all job tasks. Customers, outside real estate agents and lenders disappointed with level of professionalism. Management would rather point fingers at escrow staff instead of helping, we are supposed to be "better together " which is a company core value. No work life balance within our team.

This is Jim Weld, VP Title and Escrow. Thank you for the feedback. We are experiencing unique times right now in the company, so much rapid growth and pivotal changes. In turn, we sometimes have had more business than we can process. We are committed to remedying this and have recently put in plans to help address these issues. We discussed this in our all-hands meeting recently. We'll continue to communicate our plans, status, and progress. If you would like to take this discussion further please reach out to me. Thank you.

Pros

Excellent teammates. Management really seems to care about employee well-being and regularly go above and beyond in that department. Work is not stressful. Excellent work/life balance.

Cons

Wildly unequal pay between employees with identical job roles, e.g., one P4 engineer could be making $150k w/ $30k RSUs while another could be making $200k w/ $100k RSUs. Much higher pay for newer employees. Makes it seem like they're encouraging attrition?

Pros

Their benefits and pay are amazing. You will make good money and be decently taken care of. They still have a startup mentality so everyone is apparently valuable.

Cons

They're growing too fast and are having to shake the start up mentality. The IT team is great but needed more people to manage the overwhelming amount of work. There are glaring issues that have been needing a fix for years and have been promised a fix. No fixes have happened and I doubt they'll come any time soon.
