Pros

You make as much money as you want if you’re willing to work for it. Great place for young people starting their life. Met a lot of life friends here and the people are nice. This place opened up a lot of doors for me and helped make me financially stable. If waking up the morning your direct deposit hits and you see an extra $20,000 in your bank from your commission check sounds to you then work here.

Cons

Work life balance. 60-70+ hours a week. In March they have March madness which is a company wide competition. During that month I worked 31 days in a row monday to Sunday 10-12 hours a day. No joke. And the worst part was when April came it was mid week and we had to work the first weekend in April on Saturday! You have 2 scheduled saturdays to work every month, but they force you to work every weekend if you’re “not on pace”. And by force I mean yell at you and will not help you anymore after that. Then when you’re on pace and doing well, they will still make you work unscheduled weekends to “get ahead of the game. They don’t care at all about your personal life it’s all about money. My team leader there would even make us work the weekends and would be off at her cabin and have a meeting on teams on her boat. She would say “write more loans and you won’t have to work”.

Pros

Health Benefits; Remote Availability; Base Salary

Cons

Leadership is lost, Heather Lovier at the helm is driving banking force to the ground. Many bankers going on leave and quitting. Constant change in comp plan for the worse in a difficult rate environment with high inflation in the economy is a recipe for disaster. Team leaders are scared of their own shadows, no say in direction while upper leadership stare at spreadsheets to make decisions instead of having a real pulse on what’s really happening on the front line. Banker morale at an all time low.
