Pros

used to be a great place to learn used to have a great culture and a fun work environment then it turned into a frat house and politics took over and the mortgage industry went down the drain at this point they are just fighting to stay afloat

Cons

company will probably be downsizing from 90 employees to 20 to stay in business if you can't booze and schmooze, you can't advance a lot of scandals between employees hard for women and minorities to advance does not promote from within high turnover

Pros

Decent Salary, Benefits, Most of the team was good to work with.

Cons

Advancement tied to internal alliances rather than merit: Career growth often seems influenced more by aligning with specific internal groups or personalities than by demonstrated performance. This creates an atmosphere where favoritism can overshadow objective evaluation, making it difficult for employees who prefer to focus on delivering quality work rather than navigating internal politics. Unprofessional behavior inadvertently rewarded: The culture can sometimes reinforce behaviors that are unprofessional or counterproductive. Individuals who are more aggressive or disruptive may receive attention or influence, while those who prioritize collaboration, respect, and consistent performance often see far less recognition. This dynamic can erode team morale and contribute to a sense of inequity. Inconsistent and unclear leadership communication: Direction from leadership is often fragmented or shifts without clear explanation, leaving teams unsure about priorities, responsibilities, and long-term goals. This lack of clarity can lead to rework, misalignment across departments, and a general feeling of instability, making it difficult to plan or perform effectively.
