The first company I've worked for that is actually giving me a career - Junior Funding Specialist First Union Employee Review

Small Teams and sound management leads to common sense prevailing when issues come up.

Small teams means roles are more fluid.

First Union has a great training program and provides plenty of individual hands on training for the right people. I started off as a funding specialist and have now been moved up to an underwriter. First Union promotes from within every time they can and I have seen many of colleagues incomes grow as a result. The atmosphere is super fun, laid back and we aren't micro-managed. As long as we produce we are given the opportunity to move at our own pace. The pay is great and the bonus structure is amazing. There are times when out of nowhere at the end of the month I receive a bonus check that is amazing. The culture is great, we play golf and games and even cornhole which we play for cash prizes and everyone is very friendly.

Sometimes it's hard to tear yourself away from all the fun we are having to get back to work. I live far away and getting home at night in traffic can take longer than getting here does. When we get busy, we get really busy and the clients are non stop so while it is great for my pocket, we do have our drill down and work hard times.
