Pros
Remote work available (prepare to be micromanaged for it).
Cons
Management goes out of their way to ensure you don’t make a dime of incentive. Despite many companies offering remote work in light of covid, Flagstar seems to think offering remote work gives them the right to text you on personal devices during break times to demand why you are logged off without giving any benefit of the doubt that maybe their outdated IT systems are the issue. When you explain you did not log out of the system, you’ll get accused of lying. Little flexibility with schedule, constant micromanaging emails far before your deadlines are even due, no matter how well you are performing. You are expected to be excited when the team reaches their goals despite you never seeing any sort of financial compensation as the higher ups rake in bloated salaries. Often having to email underwriters for things they overlook or claim aren’t there, which doesn’t build your confidence in the underwriter training programs at Flagstar. They could not offer much insight in team meetings as to why work had slowed to a crawl despite other companies having plenty of work and opportunities to close loans. If you want to excel, truly gain valuable experience in the mortgage industry and receive fair bonus and compensation in exchange for hard work, look elsewhere. It’s not here.
