Nepotism at its Finest!

Pros

Some of the co-workers made this place tolerable. Before the company got cheap, they used to have team building activities.

Cons

Management at all levels hired on a buddy systems as opposed to talent or skills. It's no wonder why they closed down the Irvine mortgage division as the branch manager there and CA area manager were in cahoots. They merged with the Corona division which the former branch manager there ran the place into the ground. For example, there was a former car salesmen there with no experience in mortgages that became Area Sales Manager! I guess it pays to schmooz...

Pros

Middle management was open and supportive, benefits are good. In the right community, you can make some money and progress.

Cons

Upper management is more interested in covering their butts than making any real headway. If you're stuck in a non-performing community you'll die there. Not all rewards are equal-favoritism rules.

Pros

Good benefits, however, you'll need to be with the company for two years before being able to utilize them, otherwise, your choice is an HSA-style plan with a fairly high deductible. The company is number one in its field and has been for over 20 years, so if you're someone looking for a company with a consistent level of success this is the place for you.

Cons

There is little to no interaction among co-workers throughout the workday, thus there is almost no time for collaboration or teamwork-related assignments. Management tends to micro-manage and does not leave much room for autonomy either. There's no real defined metric for career advancement; many people (management) have been with the company since the early 2000s. This means the key to advancement is through longevity or if someone retires you could replace them. If you're someone who has short-term goals and looks to advance your career every 2-3 years this is not the place for you. Your work will almost always go unnoticed and be taken advantage of until you reach the 5-7 year mark, and by that time is it really worth it?
