Pros

Good rates in the market Semi corporate

Cons

I worked there for 5 years. I have been a top LO In industry for 12 years. Place is good if you have no experience and only want to close 2 loans a month.Branch managers lie to the top Los. Do not want them to grow or make money. If you close 7 loans a month your a rockstar but that's barely 100k. Low payouts, they would rather have Los close 2 loans a month. All branches are run by branch managers who analyze every penny on their PandL so THEY can make money not the lo. Place could be good if they valued top employees and weren't so greedy. Managers barely work and are happy with override off their teams. And branch managers want Los to avg two loans a month so they pay them on lowest tier. Plus your calling internet leads all day. Very hard to convert unless you have a lot of experience. Not a recipe for success

Pros

I get to work remotely. They have a good retirement plan/401K. I work autonomously with very little oversight, meaning there's no micromanaging. They are great with holidays and time off. Very inclusive and socially aware. Those are two reasons I've remained employed by them.

Cons

The salary is lower than preferred. I've worked two years with zero pay increase because "no pay increases for remoter employees". The health insurance is lacking and not fantastic, but I'm not sure that's really a con since nearly every health insurance plan in America is lacking.

Pros

- Great work/life balance - Awesome coworkers - Lots of opportunities to try new things and be innovative

Cons

- Senior leadership does not value remote workers and doesn't get to know them/engage with them - Frequently lays off remote employees, regardless of performance, achievements, or job role, sometimes without offering options to move or relocate. They also on occasion use underhanded tactics to pressure remote employees to leave so they don't have to pay out severance. Lastly, unless required by your state's law, they never pay out your remaining time off - If you start underpaid, you will remain underpaid even after promotions - Job performance does not impact yearly bonuses/increases. Pay doesn't keep up with inflation
