Pros
I have been working here for a couple of years and really like it. The atmosphere is relaxed, co-workers are awesome, and I really feel management cares about the employees, both personally and professionally. Work life balance is a real thing here- I feel that I'm treated like a respected adult who is capable of managing my own work and making good decisions, while also being allowed to take care of life as it happens. Eric is one of the most down to earth CEOs I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I've always felt I could go to him at any time for anything if I felt the need. In fact, I feel that way about every member of senior management. In response to a prior review about Eric offering swag for a good review on Glassdoor- that is absolutely untrue. He offers swag for doing an honest review. He's never once asked us to rate the company or him a certain way, only to voice our honest opinion. And yes, we've had layoffs and pay cuts, but anyone who has worked in the mortgage industry knows this is just an unfortunate part of being in this industry. It ebbs and flows, and the company has to make difficult decisions to keep the business going. I believe Eric has done a good job navigating the turbulence over the past 8 months. I also feel good about the changes happening and his goals for the future, and think he’s put together a great team to accomplish those goals.
Cons
While the compensation is fair, I'd love to see improved benefits. The health insurance is horribly expensive, we only get 6 paid holidays a year, can never accrue more PTO regardless of how long we work here (unless you’re in management), sick days are unpaid, and there is no short or long term disability offered.
