Rocket Companies Employee Reviews about "no work life"

Pros

The only thing I can say that is positive is the experience I received in sales as I can take that with me.

Cons

The work life balance is horrible as you will find yourself being quilted into working 60-70 hours a week. Even when your not at work you are required to log in from home or onto your email. You are told to be your own person in training but once you hit the floor you realize you become more and more of a robot. The company try's to keep a good reputation by blackmailing its former employees not to bash them on social media by this 'special team' they have that digs dirt up on you. The culture is set to be 'young and hip' but all that means is that management is allowed to use profanity, alcohol and drugs are a big factor in influencing to work hard as 90% of the company sales team is on Adderall.

Pros

Compensation can be great in upward market

Cons

Goals are unrealistic in relation to current market. Hard to form a healthy work life balance as you’re expected to work some weekends if you’re not trending towards hitting your goal. Decisions are made and employees are last to know and not giving ample time to adjust like schedule changing and being given few days notice.

Pros

Culture. Teamwork. Opportunity. Growth. I feel like my experience has been good thus far due to the training and support I've received. I have also not been afraid to seek help and there always seems to be someone that is willing to help which has been impactful to my growth.

Cons

This is definitely a career where you get out of it what you put into it. Meaning it is a lot of hard work and long hours but nothing in life that is rewarding comes without progress. I love what I do and I understand I have to work hard build my business and lay a foundation.

Pros

The people all around you are extremely fun and helpful. No other company can come close to the work atmosphere and the culture of the company. The compensation is why people are able to stick it out and be there for multiple years. Continuous training (IMAO was way too much) and the company pays for your continuing education and all state licenses. One of the best first or second job experiences you can ask for as you learn from some of the best sales people in the country. As long as you are able to produce and get along with your director, working here will just seem like a constant grind and not a prison.

Cons

I usually dislike using the word micromanaged simply because you see it all over this website but it must be said. Imagine multiple people listening in on your phone conversations (sometimes you know who is listening and usually you won't) and getting graded on how well you fit their custom format. It is all about structure and you cannot try and do things your own way, even if it happens to be successful. The 11 hour days and 3 saturdays a month does get old as the work life balance gets turned into living your life at work.

Pros

Superior compensation when goals are met/exceeded. Support from team leaders. Lead flow like no other.

Cons

When goals aren't met, compensation is drastically cut. Work/life balance is available but not necessarily encouraged unless it's some sort of special occasion. Not a whole lot of support if you want to pursue a different position within the family of companies.

Pros

Great training, great culture and great colleagues

Cons

The hours!! They literally will work you until you have a mental breakdown. There is no work/life balance with 55+ mandatory hours and many employees struggle to be family oriented while pursuing this career. Majority of people who work there are either empty nesters or single recent college grads, stay away if you have a family!! This job can ruin a marriage, and if you are a single parent this job will not give you the flexibility of work/life for your child when it's mandatory to have 12 hour days M-F with a weekend shift every other week

Pros

The pay is good the experience is good you will learn a ton

Cons

There is no work life balance and everything they say about isms is not something the company actually believes in dont fall for it

Pros

Benefits, fun environment with games and toys

Cons

Motivation driven by fear, They say it's not a work/life balance, it's just life balance. Which you soon realize means you will be over worked and over tired and not want to have a life.

Pros

Hard work pays off. I was promoted 5 times in less than 3 years and I started from what one might consider to be the bottom. Amazing culture. Resources to be a better person at work and personally are limitless.

Cons

You have to manage you life and day in order to avoid creating a tough work life balance.

Pros

Opportunity for growth if you 150% grind it out Pays for state licenses Good benefits Good leadership They feed you

Cons

Long hours (I literally went to work and sleep) 8-7 and sometimes you have to stay later Typically work 6 days a week you have one required Saturday a month but you usually end up working every Saturday anyways Pay isn’t good unless you’re hitting goal Cold calls — when I was doing my interview the recruiter told me we wouldn’t do any cold calls these people you’re talking to inquired to be called BS! Majority of the leads if they aren’t directly from QL.com they are from lowermybills.com, some Facebook survey or some third party site. 9 out of 10 people weren’t expecting a call and was just playing on the internet. You don’t get paid OT So if you have a family working at QL as a mortgage banker isn’t for you. Unless you’re a president club banker and can work from home you never get to see your family and enjoy life
