The North Korea of Mortgage

Cons

Bad leads-aged lending tree crap and worthless digital mortgage leads. High rates-pricing .25pt higher than your competition. Lot's of office politics Lousy benefits-Medical 401k Vacation all below average High turnover Low compensation Charge backs - that show up on your paycheck out of nowhere Endless favoritism Endless promises Antiquated technology Pending law suits Leaking talent like a sieve as good employees leave everyday and are replaced with inferior talent: Scrubs that look in need of a bath or shower being hired everyday at GR.

Pros

I worked with the best of the best in my industry, led by a brilliant manager. Remote Work, Semi-Flexible Schedule, Overtime was allowed sometimes.

Cons

The volume of work was intense, and you were expected to find your own cover for shifts if you're taking any time off, pay was not enough for the amount of stress. Asked to have an owners mentality but when you actually put this in practice management steps in and takes over, excluding you from being able to own anything. Insurance was terrible, too expensive.
