UpEquity Response
4yThank you for leaving your feedback. We are sorry that you had a negative experience here at UpEquity, however we hope to use your feedback to improve how we communicate with current and future employees. It is important to us that we take the time to respond to each of your claims as some of them include serious legal accusations.
We do not tolerate discrimination in any form at UpEquity. Any insinuation otherwise is categorically false. A large portion of our employees (including the management team) have children, in many cases young children, and we would never force out an employee who is having a baby.
We do not advertise a flexible work from home policy. We believe in building a strong company culture which is why we prefer employees to work from their respective offices. There are however, exceptions that can be granted on a case by case basis. Additionally, we do offer unlimited PTO (with a mandatory 2 weeks a year) and unlimited sick days.
We value every employee in the company, but we do our best to reward our top performers. However, employees who continuously do not hit goals may be put on performance plans.
We do NOT allow employees who are not yet licensed to sell loans or to engage in any activity that requires a license. If an employee does not have a license, they must pass all clients to a licensed loan officer for all activities requiring a license. Despite not being able to do every task, we do have performance standards for loan officers in training. We hold high standards to ensure that we deliver the exemplary customer service that our clients deserve.
Our retention rate on the sales team is about 75%. This is a high retention rate for sales positions and above industry standard for most start up companies.
