      Pros

      Fantastic co-workers, other than that there aren't any pros. Stay away at all costs.

      Cons

      Absolutely terrible management in the underwriting department in Texas. Favortism is rampant, no company culture, low balled on salary, employee input not received and suggestions not taken well. I absolutely despise this place. STAY AWAY UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED A JOB.

      Pros

      Good team and good cafeteria

      Cons

      -micromanagement heaven -you want a promotion? Too bad a DEI hire from outside the company is going to take it instead -they love pulling the rug from under you with a new comp plan “to match industry standards”. -they treat their processors like they’re kids in a sweat shop so the processors have no incentive to care about your file (they give them peanuts as a quarterly bonus) -they have RCT spies to watch everything you do and snitch to your manager/ set your lunches / decide if your time is approved -they act like it’s the best place to work but it’s absolutely not
