Pros

* You get to learn about the mortgage industry. * Lots of talented, hard-working people

Cons

* You are beeing watched all the time, like no one trust you. * Company has gone downhill the past few years, and there is a lot of uncertainty on where it is headed * Many employees stretched thin and stressed * Expect to be on call 24/7 and work overtime on a regular basis, and with no additional compensation or comp time * Incredible amount of work to be done by too few employees who have limited access to resources * Very little time to learn the applications and train * Too many processes with too much dependence on a few key people * Too much complexity in the applications * Management seems to want to push their work onto the employees * Toxic work environment with lots of bickering and tons of office politics * Management wants to create a barrier between contractors and regular employees * Turnover is high with many people leaving in less than 1 year (no surprise given the above points)

Pros

Salary and bonus high when compared to the light workload, team members below Director level are extremely collaborate, very professional and respectful culture, open to working for home.

Cons

Very few have real experience in financial services, making it impossible to develop solutions for saving a sinking ship, remains very political despite being in conservatorship; VPs and SVPs have no incentive to foster change, lot's of talk by this group, but little action, most are Washington fat cats making a lot of money.
