TitleVest Reviews

Pros

Everyone is friendly and respects you. Teaches you to be detailed-oriented and increases your communication skills. They are very flexible with your schedule and allow you to take days off whenever needed. Not too strict about coming in late and grant overtime Often.

Cons

Workload becomes a lot sometimes but nothing you can't handle

Advice to Senior Management

To hire more people in departments that have a lot of work

Pros

TitleVest values its customers unlike any company I am aware of. I had a lot of interaction with TitleVest's customers and I got to experience first hand on a daily basis their appreciation. I joined TitleVest after college hoping to gain some valuable work experience (and earn some money) before heading off to grad school. My experience at TitleVest far exceeded my expectations.

Cons

The company's standards and expectations are extremely high. At times, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the work load while trying to meet the required turnaround times. The work environment is extremely fast-paced and at times demanding, so if you are looking for a place where you can coast and not work very hard, look elsewhere.

Advice to Senior Management

I sometimes felt like my work was appreciated more by the customers than by my supervisor. My supervisor was so busy getting her work done that she had little time to show her appreciation. I did get a nice review and a good bonus so I'm not sure if I have any specific advice to management other than to try and let the staff know that their work is appreciated throughout the year.

Pros

You will learn how to work in an ultra fast environment that allows no room for error at all. Not because they will teach you how to but rather its a very sink or swim mentality and one is forced to handle it or else they are let go. Its great for someone with no experience that is trying to get a real job under their belt. Very cool bunch of people to work with.

Cons

Company is extraordinarily detail oriented, the tiniest error will result in severe scrutiny by everyone up to and including the CEO. Company turnover is extremely high. Everyone is stressed out of their minds.

Pros

Good place to work for if you're desperate and need a bit of income and plan on leaving soon thereafter.

Cons

Upper management is clueless, loves to micromanage you, point out your every little mistake. There is no room for growth so you should be aware that this is a dead-end job. At least one person a week either gets fired or resigns so turnover rate is ridiculously high. Working there will suck the very life out of you. There are better all-around jobs out there, don't get stuck with this one!

Advice to Senior Management

Communicate better with your employees if you want to see better results. How would you feel if you were micromanaged?

Pros

It is conveniently located in the Financial District in walking distance to all major lines (2/3 are right in front of the building). It is a good place to collect a paycheck while you find yourself. Tax deductible tranportation and 401K after 1 year of service.

Cons

*The management places favorites.
*Employees are cliquish (if you are not in the 'in' group, your days are numbers as employee at this company)
*High Employee Turnover (see the ads on Craigslist, every 3-4 months for new workers 'Recent College Grads') Most people do not make it to their one year anniversary!
*Low Starting Salary for Rent College Grads (think $28,000)
*Unprofessional, Immature Co-Workers (think of a lot of profanity and inappropriate discussions about one's personal life). It does not help that everyone except management is under the age of 28.
*Medical Benefits are not very good.
*Dental Benefits are non-existant.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop play favorites because it causes a lot of tension between employees. Management need to learn to have boundaries. I heard one member talking about me in a negative way to one of my co-workers. Just not cool and very unprofessional!

Pros

Titlevest afforded a very flexible work environment when I was there, with a lot of other smart, motivated young professionals.

Cons

Treatment of employees by management was abysmal, verging on harassing. Company advancement often had little to do with job performance.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire managers who know how to manage people. Allow opportunities for employee feedback. Crack down on inappropriate behaviors. Create more transparency.
