Pros
Company has good benefits and pay is average
Cons
The upper management is a complete clique. If you are not in the clique, you have will not move up and you will find yourself marginalized.
Advice to Management
Break down the walls. You come across as a group of elitist snobs. You have the opportunity to prove if this is true or a misconception. Also, ensure that the loan officers are respecting other employees. While it is understandable that the loan officers are quite important, I have never seen a Loan Funded completely by a loan officer.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at CMG Financial full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Work hours flexible, work from home, good benefits
Cons
No annual reviews or pay increases. Unless you are family or one of the favorites, it's very difficult to gain more responsibilities or move up in the company, even after they tell you it's going to happen. Management always makes excuses for why after they tell you that you will be given more responsibilities that it never actually happens. Very frustrating to never know where you actually stand since they tell you one thing and then never follow thru with it.
Advice to Management
Do annual reviews for your employees so they know where they stand, know what they need to improve on and what expectations are. Follow thru on verbal commitments made and make employees feel valued. (all employees, not just the favorites.)

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at CMG Financial full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Opportunity to work tough files and hone skill of getting a loan approved. It's an income source.
Cons
No annual review nor salary adjustments. Management displays gross disparity to employees, if you are not a personal friend or family member, not much potential for growth opportunities. Company location is sub-par as building needs updates, no cafeteria or deli nor vending machine and distance to restaurants eat up lunch break.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at CMG Financial full-time
Pros
Company prefers to hire less during times of need. This typically translates to laying off less in hard times (in the mortgage industry, this is great news as it creates a more stable atmosphere).
This company has also had some great low level managers and enhancement opportunities do exist if you work for them. It has been a pleasure to work with, despite a constantly shifting atmosphere.Cons
Pay Raises and Performance Reviews do not happen - as such, only a promotion or being truly invaluable and complaining about pay will get a pay raise. Nepotism is rather rampant. I do get a "two face" feel from upper management, however and upper management has significant priority and understanding issues with certain departments.
Advice to Management
Listen to the little people more, there are needs that are not being addressed.
Also, do performance reviews. It helps to make employees better through creating professional and worth-while incentives; especially if you apply related pay-raises.CMG Financial 2018-10-19 16:58 PDT
