Pros

Marketing was superb. Phones didn't stop ringing so you are always busy. The process was tight, streamlined to get most from every loan officer and every loan. If you want to make money, it's not a bad place to be.

Cons

You are pretty much chained to a chair and on the phone with borrowers or emailing to get loans closed almost all the time. Not really a place for relationship people.

Pros

Direct lender with a great portfolio of products. Well capitalized and self-sufficient - same company owns lender, appraisal management, title, and servicer. Competitive commissions. Company paid marketing. Company paid training and licensing. Good training and professional development program. Good benefits - 401k match, health/dental, work/life balance, team competitions/events.

Cons

Cyclical industry - jobs/commissions are highly correlated to the market. Minimal price flexibility when selling and rates are slightly higher than industry average. Low base salary (just over min. wage) and commissions have a "standard deduction" so it's basically 100% commission. Managers earn more on their individual production than on their override so there is a conflict of interest. Behind the 8 ball with respect to technology. Operations can take precedence over sales when it comes to managing the pipeline - this is backwards and can be frustrating.
