Commercial Customer Service Representative

What’s the best way to have a lack of compensation and incentive conversation in your department? I went above and beyond for years doing extra work, organizations etc and nothing has been reflected in pay. I thought my 5 year was going to finally show something but it did not. I’ve inquired about pay but it’s gotten nowhere.

      Pros

      Management has been awesome, competitive pay, and the support, programs, and options are awesome

      Cons

      The mortgage industry can be hard in general, and local banks can be really hard to compete with

        Pros

        There are amazing, great, wonderful people that work at Academy. Volunteer time off and ample service opportunities are a plus. Food trucks twice a week, and unlimited soda at the home office.

        Cons

        Layoffs - they will continue to tell you that they are okay and that you are safe, up until you are not. I trusted management to let me know when to brush up my resume. They did not. Lack of Management support - Don't expect to be visited by any C or V level execs, especially if you are in the home office. In my few years at the home office, not once did any of them stop to even as much say hi to our team. Deteriorating benefits in times of famine - They will redact their match to your 401k and HSA accounts. At the end of adventure with Academy, it was very apparent that if you are not a producing loan officer, you are replaceable. Your tenure, skills, and position are just medals you pin on your chest. Academy loves to dangle the carrot on the stick. The promotions, advancements, changes - all of it - never seemed to come, and if they did, they were retracted shortly after.

      Do you have to interview again if you didn’t get the job the first time but the HM wants you to apply to the additional positions that opened up a few months after?

      I made changes to my resume and would like some feedback and/or constructive criticism. Please don’t be mean… the job search is hard enough already (ex- “this resume sucks” is not helpful 😂). I applied to 40 jobs today using this version (adding/removing key words, technology platforms, and phrases to match job descriptions, but overall the same resume) 😬 Really hoping to see an uptick in interview requests soon. 🤞🏻

      I am having the most important interview of my life in a few hours. High-end position. But I am stressed because my situation doesn't allow me to lose this chance. Does anyone have tips about what to say when they ask you how you process in sales to seal deals? I personally love the spin method but it is so instinctive for me that I struggle to describe it in a correct way for an interview and I lose my words...
