I can't think of any.

Cons

13 total pto days off a year, including sick time, major overtime hours required, no work life balance, workload demands more than humanly possible. GREEDY They want to be part of a wellness plan, pay for gym memberships & promote health, but work their underwriters to death. There's no time to be healthy in this position. They say one thing & do another.

Pros

co-workers/location and office building. company functions

Cons

management, management, management, management....politics, nepitism

Pros

My team leader is fantastic, i can be 100% honest with her and not feel like I'll be fired for it. Lots of OPTIONAL OT which allowed me to pay for a lot of upgrades to my home. Laptops are issued in my department so if your kids are sick or a repair man needs to stop by or you just need a break from the office you can work from home. You get 14 paid days off a year to start. Citi you get 12 and bofa you get 15 so its comparable. Insurance is high but whose insurance isn't now? They let us go home early on holiday weekends with pay. Relaxed attire because we dont see clients face to face. My base salary is the highest is ever been but i cane to the company with 13 years experience. Keep in mind most people who are happy with their employer dont jump on here to say so. People who have bad experiences are usually the ones who make time to come on here because they want to try and ruin the reputation of a company. Overall it's similar to just about any mortgage company you'll find out there. there are good and bad its just some people can deal with the bad and some can't.

Cons

Insurance is pricey but again arent they all now? Reporting needs to be implemented to allow for easier work management. Communication about the company needs to be more transparent. Growth needs to slow down to allow new departments to perfect their proceses and generate more income for the company.

Pros

I still love my job. It just isn't what it was before they grew too fast and went public

Cons

We have lost some very talented employees in the recent months. It sounds as though there are plenty getting ready to leave again. They started out being very civic minded and caring about their employees. It seems that has gone by the wayside. We never know when our departments will be dismantled and relocated. Unfortunately, some of the jobs have been moved out of the country.

Pros

Pros are that as long as my manager was in the same office as me, it was okay. Office location to where I lived was perfect, even though we were across the street from the 49th Street Hotel (aka the Pinellas County Jail and Courthouse). Received a pay raise every year, although the last one I received was horribly small. Overtime would come and go and it helped that management provided dinner for those who stayed late

Cons

Cons. If your manager is in Indianapolis and you are working in Clearwater, there is a massive disconnect. The medical benefits are disappointingly bad. I could never afford to have health insurance. 401k was not a true match. It started out with a full match and then it went to a confusing, sliding scale (IE, if you contributed 6% of your pay, the company would match at 4%). PTO was not great. 13 days off a year is pretty rough.

Pros

All inbound and The leads are sick, Lendingtree LF and Bills Long Form. Plus they have a huge portfolio of loans they service and we get those calls too. The comp is one of the best in the industry for an inbound with high caliber leads. The ppl on the phone actually want to talk to you. I left a place that had $2 trigger leads and would get hung up on all the time. No micro management. The rates are good and processing is closing loans typically under 30 days. I worked for a few large lenders, Paramount Equity, loanDepot,, and Chase and this place is the best for making money and overall piece of mind to know that you are not always looking over your shoulder worrying about losing your job over nonsense.

Cons

I would say the only con is the loan officer does not see the CD before it goes out. Also the lockdesk is backed up and takes 24 hours to get a pricing exception approved, but at least we can get pricing exceptions to earn business when needed.
