Pros

I was paid competitively and had the benefits of working remotely. I worked with a few strong technologists while at Newrez that I could tell were passionate about their craft and they were great to work with daily.

Cons

Company mergers forged this company and will continue to forge them with their latest. As you meet the team members who have lived through each of the mergers and still work for Newrez, you will find that many harbor resentment for being a part of these mergers but may still be sticking around the organization due to higher pay or the promise of more prominent titles opening in large part due to the high turnover. All of these major changes have left a company with a lack of identify internally and a toxic work culture with team members in every department. The multiple year battle to integrate with another massive company will just compound this further. Additionally, the decisions for technology direction have largely been fed by business leadership at the expense of the customer's happiness. Read enough reviews on the internet from customers complaining about their refinance taking 3-6 months and you'll understand more about this company. Strong on getting you in the door - all the rest? Good luck. Lastly, I left Newrez for a better professional opportunity. I was not treated poorly personally and was happy to have had an opportunity to work there. However, I think people should have a realistic expectation set for them before considering joining the company. I joined without this understanding and had I known what to expect up front I may have chosen otherwise.

Pros

Ability to work from home

Cons

Absolutely zero transparency. As a senior LO you will go days, even weeks without a lead. Forced to outbound the same people until they either block your number or file a complaint. Management knows about the lack of leads but still threaten you daily if you don’t hit “goal” they demand that you have 4 hours of talk time per day but that’s pretty hard when your just leaving voicemails to people that have been called 20+ times already. Oh and they tend to cut pay every year. So more work, less pay. I’ve been with this company for years and have watched it rapidly decline. The past 6 months or so has been the absolute worst. Middle management gets a cut of your commissions for doing absolutely nothing. If you reach out for help, good luck getting a response. A lot of senior los have been trying to stick it out but there’s talk of a lot of people jumping ship sooner rather than later.

Pros

You can work from home,

Cons

Management is terrible. No one communicates at all, LO’s submit sub-par files to processing, and processing gets blamed for anything that goes wrong. There was a point in time where processors were not getting paid any commission if they were below efficiency. Benefits are EXPENSIVE and poor for the industry. company only cares about bottom line; there is no community feel, or support. They could care less who stays or leave. Good luck requesting PTO; while your off, not a single manager will cover your pipeline or talk to Your customers. You’ll come back to a MESS. Come here if there are no other options.
