Pros

There is a lot of potential for career growth if you perform well and have a professional and positive attitude. Almost all of the associates in the Account Manager department were promoted from the PA position, none of them got fired. Managers do not micro manage you, they encourage you and help you a lot whenever you run into a problem. All the other associates from other departments are extremely helpful as well. There is a lot of work but it is never redundant or boring. I enjoy what I do and I love my company. I am writing this review because I feel Guidance is getting a few bad reviews from temporary associates who did not perform well.

Cons

Rushes and month end deadlines can be a bit stressful

Thank you for providing feedback on your experience. We have worked very hard over the last year to address concerns such as these. Our Processing Assistant position is the beginning of our Operations career path. In the past, this was a temp-to-hire function so we could evaluate the candidate's ability to grow within the organization, their fit into the organizational culture, and willingness to serve their customers with a great attitude. Unfortunately, not all temporary associates were able to embody the Guidance values or grow within the organization and had to be replaced. In that process, we did learn a lot about how to improve our training program for this function and others in Operations. In the last 6 months we have formalized a fast-track training program for this position and are now seeing new associates be able to be promoted within a month or two. Because this position is designed for career-pathing, we are always looking for smart, ambitious, and honest people to join our team and build a career with us.

Pros

The company and management care about us, not just as employees but as people. Great pay & benefits, lots of other perks like flexible work schedules and Friday breakfasts.

Cons

The mortgage industry isn't for everyone and sometimes people don't last long if they want to get paid for just showing up.
