Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your experience working with our company. We appreciate all forms of feedback, whether it be positive or negative as it allows us to improve and continue providing valuable services to our employees and clients. We are glad to hear that you found the working environment to be beneficial for you. We take great pride in ensuring that our work environment is conducive to productivity and fosters a sense of community among our team members. We understand meeting strict SLA's can be a challenging aspect of the job. The mortgage industry is not only highly competitive, but it is also strictly regulated and often Pennymac's high standards are required to provide a superior level of support to our customers as well as remain compliant. However, your feedback is critical to our success and we will forward your comments to share your perspective so that we can improve our processes while maintaining our high standards of service. Thank you for being a part of our team!
