Pros

NONE. Glassdoor is requiring me to enter at least 5 words here.

Cons

Please save yourself and don't even interview here. I never understand the MASSIVE amount of security they have here at their office in the suburbs (more than any city skyscraper I've worked in) but now I do- because THIS IS THE WORST PLACE TO WORK EVER. Quitting this job was the best day of my life. If you like blatant favoritism, racism, and an oppressive work environment, then this is the job for you. I was lied to during my interview, given no training, given performance reviews I wasn't told would happen and what the score sheet would look like, never given performance goals and looked down upon by my manager because I was an outside hire. I was told to forget my 8 years of knowledge. I was treated like I had been working at a fast food joint before. There are NO underwriting guidelines, and I was told it was ridiculous to think there ever would be any. You must think exactly like your manager and be able to read her mind. I was also told during one-on-ones who I could ask questions of and who was "terrible". Nothing like your manager putting down fellow employees and gossiping in your one on one! The tension in this office is unreal. I went to HR about my concerns and they did nothing and basically expected me to be quitting. You will never have a career here. Oh, and their system was designed in Spain and is the worst system I have EVER seen. The positive reviews were obviously written by HR or somebody who has worked there for 20+ years.

Pros

The people working there form a great team. The workplace has decent flexibility hours and work from home arrangements; however, work from home is extremely tedious and doesn't work well - leading to potential issues.

Cons

Low & uncompetitive salaries. Work is never ending, in a bad way. Decisions are made without considering the right employees and there is a major cost cutting exercise by eliminating employees, meaning not a steady job.
