Financial Labor Camp- Great Temporary Training Location
Pros
Victoria is a fantastic place to work as a starting point in the mortgage industry. Basic walk-in you're hired process The company toughens your skin because you deal and work with difficult people everyday (some great life lessons are learned here) Here, you will learn everything about the mortgage industry as well as being able to touch base on every aspect of it. There are no company policies so as long s employees arrive to work at a reasonable time (9-9:30) the CEO won't bark at them too much. There is no explicit company policy in writing besides common professional courtesy, so it's a great place to breed future dictators or business moguls as the working environment can be extremely cutthroat and competitive Hours are pretty flexible, except during good housing market days. Lunch hours as oddly saturated, which can be flexible for those who wish to take a longer break during slower hours.
Cons
NO company policy. The fact that the company runs on its current management is a tremendous miracle. They still get the work done, but the process and communication between 0 to finish can leave co-workers mentally bruised as the lack of a healthy culture puts avoidable stress on an already stressful high-paced job The CEO, a one person management team, acts on minimal supervision upon employee harassment (not sexual harassment) and is passive towards binding employee relations. Trainees are expected to learn and absorb everything they've been taught by at least the second time. Depending on the trainer, some will publicly ridicule the trainee and make a fun case out of the their lack of knowledge/experience, etc. No set time for lunch. Employees usually eat sometime after traditional lunch hours (12-1:30pm) at their desks if they're not going out (desk is usually the only place we can eat as the kitchen is 3 sq foot too small and literally next to the bathroom). CEO plays the game of favoritism and it clouds her judgement on many things Pay is biased for the amount of work employees handle and for how much their really worth (again, favoritism)
