      Mortgage Lenders Of America has been the worst company I have ever worked for!

      Pros

      Clock in/Clock Out as you please.... the only upside to the job.

      Cons

      They make you work seven days a week. They force you to get all of your work done within just 40 hours and give you a very tough time getting any overtime approved. They promise you “flexible schedules/make your own schedule” yet they insist that you work mornings, nights and weekends “to make it in this business.” They yell at you (very loudly) constantly and treat you like an idiot. Rushed training that is not organized at all. Team Leads (aka managers) are more concerned about their own productivity than helping the team members that they manage. Not a professional work environment at all. Very “click-ish” environment. Bottom line, they don’t care about the individuals working there at all... all they care about is how much money you’re making for them.

      Fantastic culture & strong mission

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In addition to the usual tech company perks (free drinks/snacks, happy hours, free public transit, etc.), Zillow has an unparalleled commitment to work-life balance. Management invests in employees through competitive compensation, benefits, career and technical development, diversity and inclusion, and an ability to transfer internally between roles and even job groups.

      Cons

      I have no real complaints. My only concern is that as the company grows beyond the point where institutional knowledge is scalable, there may be technical and cultural debt that prohibits growth and flexibility. However, I have confidence that management will try to proactively address this before it becomes a major problem.

      Great Place To Work At!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For the last 4 years I have had the incredible opportunity to be a part of a world class organization that focuses on culture, recruiting/ retaining top talent, work/ life balance and moving fast, thinking big. Since I have started the thing I say to anyone asking about the company is that, this is the only job I have ever had that you will work 7.5/ 7 hours out of an 8 hour work day... and they'll pay you well for it. As a salesperson that has had many salaried+commiss sales jobs is that it always turns out your pay is constantly being messed with. Working here in that capacity, they will pay you what you are worth, yes you'll work hard and you'll feel good about your work and they will pay you well for doing it! I cant ask for much more than that. It's a tech culture so you feel like you're being taken care of, great kitchen, snacks etc... but to me the most important thing is that you compensate me for the work you're asking of me and I can't stress how good it feels to be in a company that does just that.

      Cons

      Mid management politics suck at every company this size. The good thing is most of the managers have been here as reps prior to being a manager so they get the Zillow culture and live by it, outside management hired into the culture tend to not buy into so much, so it can be difficult as a seasoned rep here to deal with the politics that usually comes from management hired from outside the family. Keep your head down and create your destiny here.
