Pros

The most enjoyable thing is helping the customers that really need it but the pressure to make loans each day is beyond normal expectations. There is always pressure each day to meet numbers in this business but over the last year I have seen it another level. Also, I must say there are some good people working for the company but with the other reviews you can see their are some issues not being corrected. Sadly, high turnover is an issue and it seems like even when proper management does come along they leave quickly due to the atmosphere.

Cons

Worked in this business for a long time but must say I cannot recommend working here. Work/Home balance is the worst I've seen by far for management and upper management. Expectations and workload are beyond unreasonable at many times and this seems to be at every level with upper management complaining much of the time that they can't keep up. Does seem the company seems split between an established market in the north and more recent purchased branches in the south getting worse conditions. Next, their is an issue with trust. It seems items that items informed to staff such as pay, benefits, policies, etc. during purchase transitions seem to change or be disregarded down the road. There have been numerous issues with personnel upset over the last year due to items changing after they were discussed and this seems to go all the way up to regional management. A typical day is lending and collecting with the majority of it being phone calls for both but the aggressive and at many times unrealistic expectations, processes, and amount assigned seem to be where the workload becomes unbalanced. Combined with these items, the thick skin needed to work here just makes for an unpleasant atmosphere that fosters more motivation from fear than anything else. Yelling, inappropriate language at times, and threats of job loss seem to go unchecked at many levels of management and seem to roll from the very top.

Pros

Central AC. Good benefits. Room for advancement. Paid sick and personal time off. Comfortable desk. Lots of good parking.

Cons

Very low pay. Only 30 min lunch. No overtime at all. Higher ups are never satisfied with performance even though we give it all we got. We never get a "great job" only a "we gotta do better!" It's not motivating and just makes us want to do nothing. Majority of branch managers have no clue what they are doing.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate you informing our potential applicants that there is room for advancement at all levels within our company. It is unfortunate to hear you feel our managers need to motivate their employees differently. We will continue to work with our managers and our training and development department in using positive motivation when working with their staff. If there is anything else you would like to discuss, please email the HR department.
