Pros

Nice people; okay place to INITIALLY learn to originate loans. You'll take a LOT of calls, and a lot of applications, which gives you a lot of practice in taking apps and pitching loans. Their software to build a 1003 application is nice. They'll cater in lunch a couple times a month. Super casual....not really any kind of dress code. Just wear clothes. The comp is good b/c you get bps on deals (like 45 bps) but if you're in the "JMC Program" then you're getting a different pay plan for 90 days (higher base + flat amount on production). if you produce, they'll kind of stay off your back and give you a lot of leeway. If you don't, they'll be all over you.

Cons

Lots of pressure to lock loans, no matter what; some level of micromanaging, though not as bad as I've heard at other companies. ZERO work / life balance. They will work you on the weekends if your sales team's numbers aren't up to snuff. Hard to get any day off for anything. "Support" and learning is hit or miss. If you have a good manager, you're in good shape. If not, you better just figure it out. I've seen managers rip into new hires before for not knowing what they don't know.

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
