Thanks for the feedback, underwriting is an art not a science. One of the things that sets us apart is we still have human beings doing the underwriting versus machines. With regards to you comments on pay, we take that to heart. The cost of living is increasing particularly in Seattle and other metro areas. We are considering our options in terms of mix of compensation to help. More and better training is coming!
Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.
Cons
Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
