Pros
Paid training! Pretty much unheard of in this industry. I knew nothing about the Mortgage business before I started at Guaranteed Rate and 6 months later I am closing deals like I am a seasoned vet. There is always a co-worker next to you to ask questions about something you do not know. The Marketing Department is unreal. They get on top of any request and as an originator you are able to put your marketing on autopilot! From day one dealing with Guaranteed Rate the recruiters were nice and the trainers really seemed like they were invested in your success. I never felt like I was lied to. If you never had a sales job before guess what, they are hard. Nothing will be handed to you here, but if you do what you are supposed to and take advantage of the marketing and technology offered there is no reason you can not succeed here.
Cons
Training was a little long. Probably could have cut it by 3 weeks. Wish managers were a little more hands on in the begging, but are always willing to help when asked. Need to hire another manager for the transition pod 1 person is not enough for 30 people.
