Pros

The benefits and pay are the only things keeping me at this place. The 401k is good and the extra two percent is nice. The cost for family medical is affordable compared to other companies.

Cons

The environment sucks and everyone wants to leave. It used to be great but some of the good ones left and the person in charge now is an arrogant jerk. He doesn't care about the people and he uses his pit bull admin to deliver his orders. I'm not sure who is really in charge anymore. I'm sure with our recent org change the few remaining good ones will leave too. This place is hopeless.

Pros

Salary was decent for a 37.5 work week, but mind you, You had to work over 50 hours to get your production numbers or you could be Gone

Cons

Upper Management, Management in Dallas was all hired based on friendship of NUC department Director. Getting ahead? No nothing there, you had to brown nose your way in to get a team lead position in NUC credit- appraisal department. Technology is so bad, you would have to call the sevens-support at least twice a week. Computers were old and running windows XP.

Pros

8% 401k match, 25+ days vacation and encouraged to use it, everyone is very competent and smart, leadership tries to work with you for any conflicts.

Cons

Ever since we came under the total and utter control of Bill Pulte from FHFA, the company has absolutely gone down the toilet. This used to be a company that valued flexibility and family time, but now they’ve forcibly adopted the Trump agenda of being all gung-ho about working from an office even though it’s half as productive and half as profitable as working remotely. We all had to upheave our lives, going from a 100% remote company to a 100% RTO model due to Trump and Pulte’s agenda, in LESS than 3 days. A big portion of us live out of state and have had to organize child care and paid for inflated, last-minute hotel and transportation costs (OUT OF POCKET by the way) just to satisfy the ignorant Trump administration. Our senior leaders have done absolutely nothing to reassure us that things will get easier, ie they haven’t opened the regional offices and stopped approving remote work requests. They fired 200+ employees for “fraud” without due process or proof, to satisfy DOGE (trump, again!). Low-level leaders (managers) are trying as best they can to work with us, but we’re at the mercy of Putle and Trump because of the hostile takeover that has come upon us.
