Pros

They have good brand recognition and good brand recognition. Can't think of anything else that's good.

Cons

The processes are cumbersome and every internal action requires six emails. They charge their loan officers for marketing materials, right down to business cards. They demand that you use marketing materials that you purchase from their of their favorite vendors. Middle management is weak and can not problem solve. Their contract is one sided and provides that you could be liable to pay back a commission for a loan that goes into default within the first 12 months after closing. They place no value on their loan officers and do not listen to suggestions or problems. Commissions are tiered, if you don't do a lot of loans, it's impossible to make any money.

Pros

Generous PTO policy and flexibility around time off. Many employees genuinely care about their work, their customers, and their teammates. There are talented individuals throughout the organization who continue to deliver strong results despite challenging circumstances.

Cons

Compensation often does not align with the level of effort, responsibility, and results expected from employees. Recognition can feel inconsistent, with visibility and internal relationships sometimes appearing to carry more weight than performance and measurable impact. Many of the product offerings feel dated compared to competitors, making it difficult for teams to position solutions effectively in the market. Significant investment in product innovation and modernization is needed to remain competitive. The company also appears to be facing strategic challenges. Employees are frequently asked to do more with less, while the long-term vision and execution plan can feel unclear. There is a noticeable desire across the organization for stronger leadership alignment, a more defined growth strategy, and clearer communication around the path forward.
