Pros

Growing company with great opportunity to move into a portfolio manager position quickly if you are a strong analyst and detail oriented. I was able to earn multiple promotions within my first few years within the servicing department.

Cons

Unfortunately due to the fast growing company over the past 10 years almost all of the VP's and managers have little to zero experience in leading people. It is a great company to start your career in commercial real estate servicing but I would not recommend staying there long-term.

Business Outlook

Pros

Company was generally flexible about where and when you work as long as the work gets done. Except for benefits, the pay was market. The top benefit of working here is deal volume. You can see and learn a lot if you want to.

Cons

The company is an old school boys club type environment, far more than other companies in the financial services/mortgage banking industry. There is very little diversity and employee satisfaction is not at all a concern. Deal related standards/best practices and employee well being are regularly thrown out in favor of profits, especially as quarters end. Again, this is somewhat true of many firms in the business, but it is unapologetically rampant here. The firm experienced multiple mass resignations while I was there. Benefits are severely under market, especially the 401k offering.
