      Pros

      Good traditional lender with a lot of products.

      Cons

      Not a good environment for growth as a specialist

      Advice to Management

      Implement a top down mandate to originate all products and market to the client base consistently. Marketing, good with some regions, should be actively farmed and pushing out messages to our data base. The marketing is fragmented and is not all that it is sold to be.

      Pros

      The awesome people I work with day-to-day make the environment a great place to work. Academy tries really hard to focus on communication throughout the company on how we are performing as a whole, how we compete in the industry, and daily company news. The perks of having free snacks, a gym, and volunteer time is a plus. But above all, I am recognized by all the hard work I put in everyday by management where I have...

      Cons

      Due to the nature of the business with seasonal production cycles, there have been several layoffs lately that could be due to over staffing.

      Advice to Management

      Continue to show your appreciation for who come in to make a difference. Its helped me and it goes long ways.

      Pros

      Great Executive Team. The organization feels connected. I can make a suggestion and I feel heard.

      Cons

      To be fully vested in 401(k) takes 6 years. Decent match.

      Advice to Management

      Allow employees to work on special cross-departmental projects to create better relationships and build knowledge across the enterprise.
