Pros

Very good training. At times a fun place to work at.

Cons

Expect you to work 11 hrs a day with 1 Saturday a month, but asked about every week if you are working this weekend. Commission pay plan constantly changes to reduce pay per unit when the market favors high production. Always looking for a way to reduce your commission pay and increases the required numbers to write loans in order to not be demoted and pay you less. Highly micro-managed. Expect you to write the same amount of loans as the next banker, however they give better leads to their favorite bankers. Most of the time, clients on the phone ask were I am because of all the yelling and music playing. When informing management of this,they just say ignore the noise? Work/Life Balance there is very little. Yes its sales ,however just nuts on the time they except you to work and try to take a vacation and you will pay hell trying to make sure you write your expected numbers to not be demoted.

Pros

- Team members are fully engaged and committed - Ever-evolving market has trickle down effects on the work and scope (for me this is a pro, but not for everyone) - Highly transparent and frequent communication from leadership

Cons

- Heavy focus on in-person employee experiences - it can feel disconnected to be a hybrid / remote team member - Lots of lingo and vernacular specific to Rocket can feel disorienting - Goalpost changes a lot
