      Pros

      Great environment to work in, management definitely notices when you're doing well. If you ever need any help there are a lot of resourceful people to help and answer your questions.

      Cons

      Benefits could be a little better

        Pros

        The insurance benefits are good.

        Cons

        There was no formal training program. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. They don't pay based on experience and after announcing the expansion in Ohio, lots of people in other states lost their jobs.

          I love working here. Homeside encourages their employees to excel in what they do. The hours can be somewhat flexible allowing for a healthy work and family balance. Homeside believes that with great work, comes great reward. I have reaped the benefits of those rewards and continue to be inspired by the wonderful people around me.

          Cons

          I do not have any cons at the moment.

            Pros

            They have exceeded my expectations in almost every way. The training and support has been simply awesome! My manager has worked with my closely to help me get off to a strong start. The leads are really good, they company provides them and there are more than we can handle in fact the only time I ever see management get frustrated is when we are missing leads which happens because we cant keep up. I enjoy coming to work, and the people I work with are fun people. Its an enjoyable place to work with the opportunity to make a good income. I cant ask for much more than that!

            Cons

            There are a few, nothing major. The computer software we use to take leads has a lot of technical issues and causes us to miss/drop leads sometimes which can be frustrating. I was told they are working on this, but it still seems to be an issue currently. Benefits just got a little more expensive. Office is growing quickly and getting full, the fridge has no room and there are not enough seats in the kitchen for everyone to eat lunch. That's it.

              Pros

              I have been in the mortgage business for over 25 years and I can honestly say that this is a standout company. You are not treated as a number, you are treated almost like family. You receive constant recognition from peers and management and everyone is genuinely valued. They truly care about their employees and the company itself is one well-oiled machine.

              Cons

              I'm hoping that in the near future that more affordable benefits along with the addition of life insurance will become available.

                Pros

                This is a FUN company to work for! I work in the Columbus, OH office but it has a Silicon Valley startup feel to it. Its a fast paced environment and you can feel the buzz in the air daily. I'm excited to come to work every day and even more excited to see where working here can lead as far as my career. Some other things I like about the company is the level of professionalism exhibited from the top down and how welcoming and friendly everyone has been. There seems to be a real sense of teamwork and "we are all in this together" culture. The management has been very supportive and the training is great. The leads are excellent and their relationships with local realtors is great. The operational support staff has been great to! Overall, I couldn't ask for a better experience with a new employer.

                Cons

                Office is a little to packed with people and cubicles. We need more space to grow but I have heard that is in the works. Because its so packed the work environment gets loud. Benefits are just OK. Health insurance is UHC and which I don't really like and its a little pricey if you have a family.

                This is great feedback for management. We absolutely are looking for more ways to give back to our team, so these are great suggestions. I promise you that as the company grows, so will your benefits!

                  - Awesome office, filled with people who are hungry to succeed. - Management is helpful and willing to listen at all times. - Excellent operations team. - Good compensation and flexibility. - Company-wide happy hours every month. - Performance based prizes and contests. - The opportunity to grow and be promoted is definitely there.

                  Cons

                  - The leads we call aren't the best at times. - Some of the bonus structures are also not that great. - The benefits package including 401k match could be a lot better.

                    I have found hat Homeside has a very well defined advancement path. The employees and management are incredibly knowledgeable about the industry. Management is always willing to step in and help at the drop of a dime. The company is also very innovative in what they do in the industry and promote an upbeat culture. Overall a great company and group of people. Can't see myself anywhere else at the moment.

                    Cons

                    Health benefits and 401k are not very good. Company is growing at a really fast pace and it is effecting management's ability to be hands on.

                      - Long hours. - If you want to be successful you need to be willing to put in time outside of the office.

                      Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

                      I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

                      Manager

                      Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
