Castle & Cooke Mortgage Reviews

Pros

This company is doing everything it can to keep progressing in this current market down turn. We had some major downsizing recently, as have all mortgage companies. To say it stung is an understatement. We lost some amazing team members, hard decisions had to be made to keep our doors open as long as possible. We will get through this! We work together, as a team. We share ideas. We create processes. We are always striving to approve. I appreciate management for showing care and concern in these hard times.

Cons

Detailed trainings/step by steps for even basic processes. (We are working on this though)

Pros

Small independent mortgage banker with minimal red tape

Cons

Nothing to report at this time

Pros

some of the employees but most of those were laid off and no longer there. They made the company what it was: Good.

Cons

CEO made bad choices w/$$. Maybe some would still have a job if weren’t for his several cd centers he wanted & trainee program he started that failed. They all closed down. CEO has laid off over half the company since May. Female higher ups have been problems. When a bad review is posted an email goes out asking higher ups to post good ones and have people on their team post good reviews too so they can try and save face. They are always trying to get poor reviews taken down. High turn over, pay below Ntl ave. Dishonest. Only care for senior positions. Promise promotions, tell u what to do then give to someone else. Act like nothing happ. CEO won’t agree to pay people what they are worth & have one of the lowest pay rates. People quit bc cant get raises and he doesnt care. He will just hire next person who will work for low wage and cycle repeats. He is more Concerned w/bottom line than with people. He puts on a good show for board. Culture is a joke and ran by bullies who have zero experience in culture or employee retention. CEO picks his favorites to do it. Old hr was good for employees and company but got rid of. CEO chose new hr. Hr has had so many people leave its the running joke. Hr hides employee exit surveys from managers. No exit interviews are done and if so feedback doesnt matter. CEO has fostered a lazy environment where higher ups are celebrated even if cost company $$ and costs good employees to leave. Why are these kept and not the employees who actually do the work and keep the dept functioning? Why are over 140 people without jobs in 6 months? Not just all high rates and no one buying or refinancing as reason for lay offs. Poor managemnt of funds and hiring bad leaders resulted in closing of cd centers.
