Pros

Freedom to run your business as you please

Cons

Core business comes from loans turned down at other lenders. Multiple employees quit or were laid off after short stints with the company. Constant changes in software. Quick to cut off relationships with wholesale lenders. Lack of consistency. Worked with fear that owner may not make payroll and employees were constantly reminded of that.

Giniel Financial Group Response
7y
I'm sorry this person has such a negative attitude about everything at work. We, as in the whole office, co-workers and management, tried to help this individual many times, but this sales person refused to pick up the phone and make any calls to prospects. Payroll was never in question. This person has sour grapes because he was let go with cause. One person left for a new position out of state... We are always improving our workflow to beat our competitors. The only lack of consistency was his own effort. We wish him the best of luck.

Pros

GFG is a tremendous place to work, which also comes with the ability to work from home (or even your boat, if you get internet access!). There is essentially an unlimited cap to your income - the harder you work and the more families you help, the larger your paycheck. Who doesn't like that? I have been here for over 2 years and have no intentions of changing things up. The inside process of how the company is run is also great, with a smooth process from submission to closing. Because of this, I have plenty of time to spend with my family, on top of having a strong book of business and referral partners that keep the momentum going throughout the month, if I ever need anything, my GFG team helps out when and where help is needed :) Also -- great benefits included!

Cons

The only "downfall" would be if you are not open to the idea of growing your book of business on a referral and personal basis, the Loan Officer position might not be the best fit. But, that can be said for anyone in this line of business that is not handed a list of cold leads to call everyday. In the past I have worked for companies that supplied cold leads, but the business model of Giniel Financial Group is much more preferred.

Pros

Great Team Environment- Everyone at the office is very supportive and willing to help you. It is a small company, so everyone is very close and works together. Accessible Owner- The owner is always open to improve the company and discuss suggestions and new ideas. He is also very willing to help you work with realtors and clients to help you build relationships. Work Flexibility- Loan officers have a lot of flexibility with their schedule. Great Work/Life Balance- the owner and fellow employees all understand that this is important. Good Comp Plans Heath Care and 401K

Cons

Commission Income(for loan officers only)- Loan officers are 100% commission. This is a con for some people. But a plus for others because it gives you freedom to control your own business.
