Pros
-If you are looking to become a loan officer this is a direct route to becoming one. -It is cold calling, but they give you pretty good scripts to memorize to make your calls easier. -Free snacks in breakroom (not the best snacks but it is better than nothing) -Management can be helpful if you reach out to them for advice on how to do your job better.
Cons
-They usually don't tell you in the interview that this is a direct route to being a LOAN OFFICER. So basically, you either become a loan officer or get fired before your four months are up. (Four months is the typical timeline for you to become a loan officer). -HEAVY MICRO-MANAGEMENT. If you have to go to the bathroom outside of your 2 ten minute break periods or lunch period, expect a snarky, "You were gone for three minutes." remark from management. Can't eat anything during calling. -They claim the company has a family culture, however if you talk to the person next to you for too long management will snap at you for not taking your job seriously (Hard not to talk to people next to you during times when nobody is answering their phones). -Cold calling. They tell you it isn't cold calling because they are people who inquired their services, but it is in fact cold calling. 99% of the people you call are people who inquired with Lending Tree, not Intelliloan. You will do nothing but cold call the entire time you are there. The only time you will leave your desk (without getting yelled at) is during your two breaks, and during lunch. That's it. -Turnover rate is very high. Whether it be people quitting or getting fired. You will usually do training with a team of new hires, and I can almost guarantee you your team will shrink within a couple weeks. -No phones allowed in building
