Pros

Pay was nice Benefits were okay

Cons

Management is the worst I’ve ever seen, specifically in lending. If you aren’t a family member of someone important or best friends with a manager you are nothing to them. They promote the wrong people. Management is gossipy and catty. No work life balance. They expect you to be a robot, not a human. If you aren’t willing to sell your soul this isn’t the job for you. If you’ve got friends in high places you can just make your own schedule, leave to go golfing if you want but if you don’t have friends in high places you can barely take a lunch break. Not allowed to have personal conversations with your team during work hours- it’s a cult. Don’t do it.

Pros

Flexible Schedule on the business team. 401(k) is amazing. Healthcare is great.

Cons

Poor leadership across the board starting with VPs. C-Suite claims to be transparent, but then people (VPs) who are friends with the CEO get hired out of the blue. Poor PTO plan. No cost of living adjustments on already poor salaries. Does not value tenured employees. Prefers to hire new, cheap labor instead of treating invaluable tenured employees with dignity and a fair pay.
