Countrywide Financial – “Despite a tough market, Countrywide has been fair in compensating for performance.”

Pros

Countrywide compensates very well for individuals willing to work hard. Dispite the downturn in the mortgage industry, the company looks for creative ways to compensate its employees. I was approved for a promotion durning the company's acquisition by Bank of America. While the raise was a little lower than I had hoped, I was still happy the promotion when through in such an adverse environment.

Cons

The downturn in the mortgage industry has led to downsizing in some departments.

Advice to Senior Management

None.
