Pros

benefits, some of former employees

Cons

Upper management and some Branch Managers. When I achieved employee of the year in my district, was only given a piece of paper no other recognition, what is that for all the hard work and then the next month to be told that your not doing well by the area director. This business is 100% luck, some months its there some months its not, it's not from a lack of trying there is no support from upper management at all. You can't have a conscience to work there. They want you to achieve the same loan goals from years ago when the company was thriving and you were able to do 30 loans a month and then the company also incorporated more unobtainable insurance goals. Employees were not happy with company but yet didn't want to lose their jobs do to economy, felt pushed to do "what it took" to try to make there unrealistic goals and keep off the radar. Forget doing the right thing for the customer and trying to help them when they really needed it, as a district manager once said "we are here to make a profit", that sums it right up. Employees being fired for trying to do the right thing to help the customer but wasnt right for the company or not able to pass a mortgage test. Beware new people if you do not pass this test within a certain time frame you will be fired, ouch. And be prepared that you must make your loans goals in every category which in this market is tough.

Pros

Your peers. I have a great group of co-workers though multiple have left because of HORRIBLE direct management in the AM department.

Cons

Low hourly pay. Tricky incentives. Shark like environment. Terrible and I mean TERRIBLE managers. Favoritism runs rampant at this place and goes unchecked. Lazy, incompetent department manager makes up his own rules (you MUST use your break time to go the bathroom) which goes endorsed by his superiors and HR. Reward people who live at that place and work insane OT hours because of the low pay, but crap on people working the normal amount of hours because you’re based on the “average”. Truly one of the worst management staffs I have ever seen coupled with lackadaisical training and one of the dumbest rules I’ve ever heard of…you must be at One Main for ONE ENTIRE YEAR before you can transfer out of the department or move up. Trust me when I say run as far away as you can from this place.
