My experience was toxic

Pros

-PTO policy is decent. Employees are allowed to take time off if needed.

Cons

My experience was not the most positive. I got hired under the notion that the environment would be one that is similar to a family and very supportive. I was also told that the management I'd be given would be hands-on, since I did not have any prior experience. Unfortunately, my experience was quite the opposite. I didn't feel like the salary, benefits, work environment and company culture was enough for me to want to work in this position. Benefits are much more expensive than other companies since the company is a startup. If I chose to utilize all benefits, then more than half my monthly salary would go to it. The work environment/culture was not necessarily spectacular or supportive. My salary was a little below average in comparison to other companies. There is more to say and elaborate, but this would take forever. This is a very honest review-- I am not saying it's extremely horrific, but my experience was far from positive. It was very dull working there, management/leadership needs work, and benefits and salary are subpar.

Pros

None, just a scummy bunch of con-artists, I left my job of 7 years to work at the Lake Forest Location and 24 hours before my start date they call me to change the pay structure... Are you kidding me?? Talking with the labor board and attorney now...

Cons

Yes I left my 100k a year job at another lender to work here and they pull this stunt on me. If they bait and switch their own people what do you think they would do to their brokers? Just a scummy bunch of OC mortgage slim balls, you guys are the reason that no one wants to deal with California banks and fake it to you make it, is NOT the way to do business. Thank God I was able to get my old job back...
