Frequently lays off remote workers, regardless of performance

Pros

- Great work/life balance - Awesome coworkers - Lots of opportunities to try new things and be innovative

Cons

- Senior leadership does not value remote workers and doesn't get to know them/engage with them - Frequently lays off remote employees, regardless of performance, achievements, or job role, sometimes without offering options to move or relocate. They also on occasion use underhanded tactics to pressure remote employees to leave so they don't have to pay out severance. Lastly, unless required by your state's law, they never pay out your remaining time off - If you start underpaid, you will remain underpaid even after promotions - Job performance does not impact yearly bonuses/increases. Pay doesn't keep up with inflation

Pros

Growth opportunities, A feeling of working with family. Pay structure and monthly incentive is comparable in this market.

Cons

This will vary on your personal desires and needs. I have not experienced any cons that Newrez is accountable for. The industry has moments of pressure and in the mortgage business... we roll with the punches.

Warning!

Pros

Atrocious! Unreasonable and unrealistic expectations set on new employees. Training is nearly nonexistent. Poor communication throughout the entire company, and it's easy to see how they've amassed so many complaints and lawsuits. Stay away!!

Cons

Accrued time off is their only positive.
