Pros

Good pay, benefits, and time off. Easy to relocate across the country. Great for short-term managerial experience.

Cons

Relocation is required or you will be demoted with a pay cut. The company will cut your bonus pay without any notification (a large part of the compensation.) Nearly everything seems to be outsourced, so the IT team seems to only serve as a disorganized ticket center for the third-party companies. Management will ask you to move your family across the country with as little as a day's notice and will shut down branches after claiming they were not going to for months. Promises made are simply not always kept.

Thank you for your positive comments. We review and consider all feedback for opportunities to reinforce what we do well and to improve where appropriate. Regarding the Cons listed, we are sorry that the poster had a negative experience but hope others will keep the following information in mind. Republic Finance is a growing company that prides itself on its track record of promoting from within. Our Assistant Branch Manager program is specifically designed to train, develop and promote qualified individuals into branch management and even higher-level positions in the company. We’ve been highly successful at doing so. Individual opportunities are affected by employee performance, geographic preference, and branch expansion, among other things. Monthly incentives for branch team members are used to encourage strong performance in areas that match the strategical goals of Republic Finance. The structure of branch team member incentives changes as company goals change. Team members have access to incentive forecast tools, which help them to understand and preview their monthly incentive payments. Technology is a tool to do a job. We have been successful in utilizing technology to benefit our customers and our employees, and our work in this area is ongoing. Technological improvements have been made year after year, and we will continue to implement new technology. We continue to communicate with Our Team about these ongoing activities.

Pros

Welcoming Staff Good hours and pay

Cons

I felt extremely misled about this internship opportunity. As an accounting major, I repeatedly expressed interest in learning about loan closing processes, leadership development, and gaining broader exposure to the company. I was assured that my accounting background would be valuable and that I would have many opportunities to learn and grow. However, I was not informed of the actual responsibilities of the role until my second day. I then learned that the position primarily involved customer service tasks, including making collections calls and opening loans for customers. These duties did not align with the expectations that had been communicated to me during the hiring process. I also found it difficult to feel good about opening loans for customers, as it often felt like I was helping people take on more debt rather than improving their financial situation. By my third day, I decided to step away from the opportunity because the role was not what I had been led to expect. If you are interested in a customer service position that involves frequent phone calls with clients, this role may be a good fit. Otherwise, I recommend asking detailed questions about the day-to-day responsibilities before accepting the position.
