Delousional, Toxic, and Manipulative - VP of Mortgage Lending Molitor Financial Group Employee Review

the owners are great people, always available to help.

just that everything is mostly remote

The mortgage industry work itself can be interesting and provides exposure to different parts of operations. There are also some hardworking individuals on the team who genuinely try to support one another despite the environment.

The overall work environment felt very toxic and unstable. Communication within the company often came across as verbally aggressive and highly stressful, which created an uncomfortable and unhealthy atmosphere for employees. Training was extremely limited, and employees were frequently moved between roles without being given adequate time to properly learn their position. This constant shifting made it difficult to succeed or feel confident in the role. Operational processes were changed frequently—sometimes every few days—without allowing time for previous changes to take effect. This created confusion across the team and made it nearly impossible to build consistent systems or workflows. Communication from the Owner/President & CEO often appeared very disorganized, with frequent changes in direction and little clarity about who was responsible for decisions or what expectations actually were. Teams were often left unsure of which direction to follow. There was also a high level of micromanagement coming from leadership, which made it difficult for employees to operate effectively or feel trusted in their roles. The operations team in particular carried a heavy workload and often seemed mentally exhausted from the constant pressure and lack of support. Turnover appeared to be very high. From observation, many employees seemed to leave before receiving bonuses they were working toward. The bonus structure often felt unclear, and at times it appeared that bonuses were not paid as originally expected, which created frustration and distrust around compensation.
