Pros

Your last day of work.

Cons

I will start by saying I regret not coming on Glassdoor and reading the reviews before accepting my job offer. Everything others have said is totally true. Every single review is so accurate it's scary. Besides for that token positive review, which seems strange. Genesis is a totally dysfunctional company and it's shocking they were purchased by one of the top banks in the world. Someone there really didn't do their due diligence and will probably get fired once they look under the Genesis "hood". From top down everything in this company is off. Management is a group of DJs and party friends who hit the market at the right time and made some decent loans, but they don't have any clue what they're doing. They don't know real estate and they don't know how to run a company. The only think they're good at is having bs meeting. So. Many. Meetings. Their entire loan process from start to finish is off. And a deal needs to go through 7+ different layers before final approval and funding. It's mind boggling how they actually end up funding loans. I'm convinced the borrowers who stick with them are either 1) friends (who might be getting kickbacks from management) 2) morons 3) or criminals who can't get a loan anywhere else and are hiding something which Genesis didn't catch. Furthermore, I've never seen one person (other than upper management) happy at work. Everyone is so stressed out and angry at each other all the time. It's quite sad. The entire office is on edge. There is also no personal space or free time. You are expected to be plugged in from 7am to 11pm, because there is literally a million boxes to check before a deal closes. I have much more to say but I think you get my point. My only hope is I have convinced at lease one potential employee not work here. It reminds me of the saying "I don't wish this on my worst enemy". Genesis is run by a bunch of morons. Actual morons. Some of them may have great degrees but they are all actual morons. Stay away.

Pros

Cons hugely overshadow any pros.

Cons

My experience at Genesis Capital was, unfortunately, marked by extreme mental and emotional distress due to the toxic behavior of the woman in charge of operations. Her leadership style not only caused immense personal stress but also set a dangerous precedent for how other managers behave, fostering an environment where disrespect, micromanagement, and unprofessionalism became the norm. Despite having more than a decade of experience and being known for my eagerness to learn, taking detailed notes, and embracing feedback, I encountered an unwillingness to provide proper training or support. Instead, I faced relentless criticism that offered no constructive guidance. This environment severely impacted my health—I became extremely sick due to the constant stress and had to take time off to recover. What makes this situation more disheartening is that there are truly excellent people working at Genesis Capital. However, many seem afraid to speak up due to the real threat of retaliation. I found myself in the same position—afraid to raise concerns or seek help out of fear of professional consequences. This is a clear indicator of a broken culture. To the individual running operations: I hope you read this and seriously reconsider your management style. Leadership should inspire and empower, not degrade and intimidate. This experience taught me a valuable lesson in self-respect. I now know that no job is worth enduring abuse, and I will never allow myself to tolerate such treatment again.
