Pros
Higher than average staff retention within the mortgage industry.
Cons
For what it is worth, I've worked in mortgage compliance for 10 + years. Accepted a position as the Compliance Manager and resigned "on the spot" 5 weeks later. Reasons below: 1. Derogatory, insulting comments about government workers' intelligence and work ethic; and 2. Unacceptable racial comments in manager/leadership meetings. On a personal level, and as someone who was in an inter-racial marriage, I found these comments in "leadership" meetings disgusting. Advice for Mortgage Industry Newbies - no lender is perfect but be intentional with table selection. Three traits to look for: 1. Accountability - is the shop accountable to consumers? 2. Transparency - is the shop transparent with regulators? and 3. Service Leadership - is the shop looking out for staff?
