Pros

They buy you dinner when they tell you you're working late on less than 24 hours notice and make it mandatory, even when you have kids that need to be picked up from daycare.

Cons

Lowest compensation plan in the industry. Old, outdated leads. Management is all out for themselves and make you fear asking any questions at all. They will tell you the average for the company for closings is 5 closings a month, but the average for the last 6 months as been 1-2 as an office. Not worth the time or energy, move along.

Pros

Underwriting is very quick however, its only because the loan officer does ALL the work upfront. Heaven forbid you have an income discrepancy your file will sit there and not be worked until its cleared. This is a very family friendly environment. If you have a family and are able to balance your work time and min. pay, this is a good place for you.

Cons

The money, you have pay back $1500 every month, they say for leads. The leads are hit and miss at best. The initial training is a joke. If your not self motivated and catch on quick, your going to get a slow start. The normal ramp up time in this industry is 60 days, mentally and financially prepare for 90 at New Penn. If your planning on making the money you are use to at other places , DON'T. Its not going to happen. Its not a purchase driven company in a purchase driven environment. The average person is doing 2-3 loans for about $800k ( this is generous) =$5200 - $1500.00 (payback/leads= $3700 before taxes.

Pros

Good stepping stone, entry level type of job

Cons

Unorganized vision, lack of talent from management, management doesn't take responsibilities of failure, bad pto, benefits, structure. If you're not part of the clique you are chopped off. Do a bad job, but join the clique and you should be ok
