Pros

Things were nice during the Covid era, Maybe a bit overwhelming with how many loans we were given as fresh JLPs but nothing that couldn't be handled just simply doing what you can.

Cons

The Caliber merge was THE STUPIDEST thing Newrez could have ever done! Instead of our current system of being directly responsible for x amount of loans, we had to learn Caliber's loan systems, which basically was like a round-robin free-for-all with a pool of random loans in a certain status that anyone could work through. The thing is, 99% of the time these loans were already prepped and just waiting in the underwriting queue, so your day was mostly spent mindlessly clicking through loans in the *hope* of finding something to do. Supervisors also began to micro-manage at this time and wanted people to keep logs of what they did to send daily. I was laid off one day in a mass meeting invite that went out maybe an hour after the workday started. A few days before that I had pushed against my supervisor who wanted me to do a task that overstepped the scope my role/responsibility, so the timing is too coincidental to not be retaliation lol

Pros

- Great work/life balance - Awesome coworkers - Lots of opportunities to try new things and be innovative

Cons

- Senior leadership does not value remote workers and doesn't get to know them/engage with them - Frequently lays off remote employees, regardless of performance, achievements, or job role, sometimes without offering options to move or relocate. They also on occasion use underhanded tactics to pressure remote employees to leave so they don't have to pay out severance. Lastly, unless required by your state's law, they never pay out your remaining time off - If you start underpaid, you will remain underpaid even after promotions - Job performance does not impact yearly bonuses/increases. Pay doesn't keep up with inflation
