Pros

Good rates in the market Semi corporate

Cons

I worked there for 5 years. I have been a top LO In industry for 12 years. Place is good if you have no experience and only want to close 2 loans a month.Branch managers lie to the top Los. Do not want them to grow or make money. If you close 7 loans a month your a rockstar but that's barely 100k. Low payouts, they would rather have Los close 2 loans a month. All branches are run by branch managers who analyze every penny on their PandL so THEY can make money not the lo. Place could be good if they valued top employees and weren't so greedy. Managers barely work and are happy with override off their teams. And branch managers want Los to avg two loans a month so they pay them on lowest tier. Plus your calling internet leads all day. Very hard to convert unless you have a lot of experience. Not a recipe for success

Pros

There really is nothing, sorry.

Cons

The change the comp plan a few times a year, the change only benefits New Penn. They pay minimum wage, have a random $1500 (per loan officer, per month) deduction from your pay every month. They treat employees as telemarketers, not experienced lending professionals. They don't want loan officers closing more that 3 loans per month, they profit more by having many loan officers close a fewer deals, this allows them to collect $1500 per loan officer and keep the pay scale (bps per deal based on how many deals close) low. They control this by increasing rates, which they do often when the market and other lenders rates often don't increase. They will control you, your life, your pay and when rates go up and you don't have self generated deals your production will go down and you will be out of a job. Trust me, keep moving. .
