Pros

They pay their employees good! The salary is not worth the headache.

Cons

The new leadership is horrible. They treat their employees terrible. They are constantly changing things with little guidance on the changes. They have ran off and fired some of the best employees. Can not refer anyone to work for this company. Most the staff is looking for new jobs to get out soon.

Just a job...not a career

Pros

You have something to do Monday - Friday and free coffee to drink.

Cons

Don't expect to use your brain while there. Everyone is afraid to make a decision that's well thought out. This company has run off and fired some people who really cared about the company. The people who are allowed to keep their jobs should really have an aptitude/drug test of some sort. The level of gossip, false rumors and inexperienced managers is unreal. Out of an 8 hour workday, you can expect to see anyone in Legal, Accounting and Collections talking and gossiping for at least 5 hours. The other 3 are divided between lunch and paying bills/shopping online. Again, the handful of people who were working were forced out by those feared for their job because they did not know how to do it. Unless you have a degree in eye rolling, gossiping and unprofessional apparel, you won't last here.

Wonderful New Leadership

Pros

The company was stagnant for a bit but seems to finally realize the potential ahead. They have brought on some amazing leaders that are seasoned in the single family realm. It is refreshing to see where the company can go. I am very excited about the opportunity to come. Pay scale is not only competitive but exceptional.

Cons

HR seems to be a bunch of people who worked together before from a previous Cerberus company and are the equivalent to mean girls run by a cheap version of Regina George. I worked there prior to this HR reign and I sure hope it gets better.
