Pros

The employees are the only reason why you would even consider staying.

Cons

Working 70 hours per week, 6 to 7 days per week is very common. Management threatens employees with layoffs if monthly goals are not met. Management making poor business decisions by overriding the underwriters and allowing risky loans to close. This is a "Lean Six Sigma" company but quality is not part of the equation! "Lean Six Sigma" promotes an atmosphere that encourages fraudulent activity from employees who receive significant commission or bonus income.
