Pros

I have been employed as a Branch Manager of NFM Lending for almost 3 years and a mortgage banker for almost 24 years. I’ve worked at a lot of great places over the years and NFM is at the top of the list. There is always a corporate officer willing to assist and senior management is always there for us. The marketing department goes above and beyond to help. They have a plethora of products, great rates and low fees. They offer great health benefits and 401K matching. One of the biggest and best things NFM Lending does is listen. You may not get everything you want every minute, but over time, with commitment and loyalty, you see it back and with all my years in the business I have found that non-existent anywhere else. NFM is as close to perfect as possible for originators

Cons

Can't broker 24 years as lo and would be nice if we could but there has only been 2 I had to refer out over 3 years. Minimum loan amount 50 k. Had to refer 3 for loan amount. Doesn't matter for 99 percent of originators!

Pros

They want you to believe in their culture... culture that is only shared among the small group of individuals who have been working for the same owner for years and for SALES people. Base salaries are good but you have to bleed to earn that dollar!

Cons

That culture they brag about is not reflected on the way management treats their operations staff - but if you are a top producer: they will bend over backwards for your money and by bending I mean rules and would step all over you to meet their goal: bottom line = MONEY so if you dont have work ethics in the Mortgage I Lastly HR has a policy that requires employees to go on hiring sites and makes them give the company high ratings. So don't believe everything that you read on NFM or base your decision when applying for a job on what is said, its just marketing to help them rank the company to be top. Don't even think about complaining to management or HR by exercising your rights. Suck it up, keep grinding and keep your head down because you'll be gone within weeks, they will manage you out even if you are right.

Thank you for taking time to provide us feedback. We are glad to hear you recognize our competitive compensation and hard work ethic. You are correct, we do bend over backwards for our employees to help provide top notch service, however we are a fair lender and do not break or bend rules for anyone. You are right that we brag about or award-winning culture. We have been recognized several years in a row with awards given by reputable employee centric companies who conduct anonymous surveys to all employees company-wide – ensuring the feedback about a company’s culture and work-environment is genuine, consistent and noteworthy. Our Corporate turnover rate is well below industry averages of and we are very proud of our retention. In response to HR having a policy about requiring employees to leave high reviews, that is not accurate; however, we do encourage all employees to post their experience on Glassdoor.com and to be transparent to help provide an authentic preview of working here at NFM Lending. We wish you well in your next endeavor.
