Pros

I have never been able to work for a company that provided an employee the opportunity to build their individualized mortgage company within a company. The leadership they provide gives you the ability to earn a paycheck and quality of life that is hard to find other places unless you have a phd, md, or law degree. The risk is worth the reward!

Cons

Rome wasn't built in a day........you have be willing to come in and grind through the early months. Big paychecks aren't going to come within the first few months. Training can be a battle through the first few weeks.

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
