Apparently intimidation can get you a half decent rating on Glassdoor.
Pros
Free bagels once a week.
Cons
Well, let's start with the fact that these guys take AT LEAST 3% commission off the top of every deal. You wouldn't know it unless you've worked at a competitor and are familiar with ACTUAL deal funding rates, then you'd see things fund closer to 5, not 8. Besides the fact that everyone is under paid, never given a raise, only men get promoted, and you literally could be fired at any point in time, in one of their mass executions, you also have to deal with the firecracker CEO. Now, by firecracker, I don't mean he's exciting and everyone loves him. Literally the opposite. He's unpredictable, explosive, and dangerous. All SOF employees know how he is - let's say he's always awake, paranoid, and rambling. Travels to Mexico a lot. Has a lot of money, but the company is STRUGGLING. I mean he can be downright intimidating while you work there.. but then you realize he's just got a big mouth, and a failing company. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As if all that weren't enticing enough, SOF enjoys litigation! They get sued all over the place by clients who they scammed money off of, like a lottery winner in CA that had dementia when they "helped" him sign all his payments away. And they love to sue back! Anyone who works there can't work in the industry, for 2 years, in the entire USA after they leave or get fired because of their very broad non-competes that you are required to sign, OR you get sued for millions! Not sure why though, because apparently it's fairly easy to take their database considering the amount of people they've sued for "stealing" it. So the moral of this story is: Make your employees scared of you and then make them leave reviews on Glassdoor so that no one can see how messed up your company really is!
