Pros
Overall, I liked my job duties. I enjoyed learning about the industry in Mortgage 101/102, etc. It was a relaxed, comfortable environment. I liked my coworkers and team. Generally, a pretty flexible work schedule. I loved the focus and respect for Veterans.
Cons
Training was poor. The coworker that taught me did a good job with the resources available, but I think it could be better thought through & more organized to ensure you're learning everything you are supposed to. I was hired on with the understanding that I would be apart of a new team being added. I ended up being laid off with 0 notice the week after Christmas. I understand its a mortgage company, and there are ups and downs in the economy, but it was all very poorly handled. They put everyone they were laying off in one big room and did it at once. It was pretty embarrassing and awkward for all involved since everyone knew what was going on. The guy in charge of my team that individually chose everyone who would get fired on our team didn't bother to even come say bye or anything. I was on board here for a total of maybe 3 months. It really was not worth my time at all in the end. They spoke of growth in different areas to accommodate and be able to keep growing and developing with the changing economy when I was hired on. I was told how great the company was doing and how there was a lot of opportunity to move up. All of this only to be laid off very soon after. Like I said, I get it. Life happens. But I wish it would have been handled with more class and dignity. Just some empathy from team leaders and management at all would have even made it a little better. I would be cautious of job stability and security since it is an ever-changing industry. They do have incentives for good reviews as well so I'd be careful reading through these. Oh and health insurance was insanely expensive.
