Pros

Company was generally flexible about where and when you work as long as the work gets done. Except for benefits, the pay was market. The top benefit of working here is deal volume. You can see and learn a lot if you want to.

Cons

The company is an old school boys club type environment, far more than other companies in the financial services/mortgage banking industry. There is very little diversity and employee satisfaction is not at all a concern. Deal related standards/best practices and employee well being are regularly thrown out in favor of profits, especially as quarters end. Again, this is somewhat true of many firms in the business, but it is unapologetically rampant here. The firm experienced multiple mass resignations while I was there. Benefits are severely under market, especially the 401k offering.

Pros

Hybrid work schedule was nice.

Cons

Upper management is clueless to the daily operations of their staff and refuse to listen to the experts in their fields. Pay is low compared to other companies in the same industry. Respect is non existent if management doesn’t “like you”. At one point before I left, I was waking up with so much anxiety that I would throw up daily. This place isn’t good for mental health.
