Pros

There really is nothing, sorry.

Cons

The change the comp plan a few times a year, the change only benefits New Penn. They pay minimum wage, have a random $1500 (per loan officer, per month) deduction from your pay every month. They treat employees as telemarketers, not experienced lending professionals. They don't want loan officers closing more that 3 loans per month, they profit more by having many loan officers close a fewer deals, this allows them to collect $1500 per loan officer and keep the pay scale (bps per deal based on how many deals close) low. They control this by increasing rates, which they do often when the market and other lenders rates often don't increase. They will control you, your life, your pay and when rates go up and you don't have self generated deals your production will go down and you will be out of a job. Trust me, keep moving. .

Pros

- Great work/life balance - Awesome coworkers - Lots of opportunities to try new things and be innovative

Cons

- Senior leadership does not value remote workers and doesn't get to know them/engage with them - Frequently lays off remote employees, regardless of performance, achievements, or job role, sometimes without offering options to move or relocate. They also on occasion use underhanded tactics to pressure remote employees to leave so they don't have to pay out severance. Lastly, unless required by your state's law, they never pay out your remaining time off - If you start underpaid, you will remain underpaid even after promotions - Job performance does not impact yearly bonuses/increases. Pay doesn't keep up with inflation
