Vantaggi
Our managers and branch managers truly care. The industry was contracting last year and still is. Our Branch Managers committed to not laying anyone off regardless of the short-term financial consequences, which I'm sure was very significant. This was while the industry fired 40% of its operational workforce. This is such a rarity in any industry and unheard of in this one. Todd and Dave are two of a kind. In addition, I need to earn a living and provide for my family, this company created the ability for me to earn a substantial living. I've done pretty well in other companies I've worked for and made six figures. I've more than doubled my income here and last year was a down year. Can't wait for the future.
Svantaggi
If you're applying for the Mortgage Coordinator or Loan Originator position, this is a results-based economy. Effort is MOST important. However, having to stomach the ups and downs is a requirement. I truly believe that talent is an acquired skill set and if you combine effort with a willingness to learn, there isn't a better place and people to work with and for. Keep in mind that although showing up is half the job, putting in the hours won't always translate to new business being generated. Be intelligent and frugal with your paychecks. Put yourself on a budget, stick to it, and no matter what, at the end of the year, you will contribute to your nest egg.
