Pros
For as long as they last: compensation and benefits were at par with the market as a whole.
Cons
Can't say I recommend this Company, nor the Diligence Division any more than the other negative reviews which appear here. In the 7 months of my constantly stressful ( -see excellent review on the "Blood Pressure Cuff @ the desk") affiliation with this foundering Company; 3 different levels of Diligence Division management were let go: -so deep goes the institutional 'rot'. Overall the Company does not live up to its core values (R.O.C.k.S.). One Glass-door reviewer mentions an '...elitist/clique' -like atmosphere and I concur with that observation. This Division was established in August of 2021 and it showed: no training documents, no job aides, no job related documentation at all to speak of. If you have a Diligence back-ground, this is not the company for you. What they refer to as 'diligence', really amounts to post-close, re-underwriting; & that is where the majority of the Department staff hail from: front line under-writing, not diligence. The production/review process is only made longer and more odious by the 3rd party diligence program they use (-some L.M., anyone?). All you have for guidance was multiple lender g/l's in outdated .pdf files. Communication in this Department (Dil.-Credit) is dreadful with little to no communication procedurally and bad/ineffective communication from Production and especially Q.C. teams operationally. During a round of lay-offs last November, meeting e-mails and the calendar 'subjects' were duplicitously labeled as 'Status check in'. Needless to say, you can imagine the astonishment of the participants to those calls after seeing such a misnomer of subject. The in-experience of the team leads only results in the permeation of a hostile and combative atmosphere between Credit & Diligence -Team staff and Q.C'ers: most of whom have '0' experience in diligence before last August. With the exception of a scant few, they were all front line U.W'ers with little if any experience in diligence. In conclusion, I cant say that anyone should treat working here as anything more than a temporary job and not to expect it should last that long. Finally, go into it with your eyes open, with the knowledge and acceptance that regardless of what Management says; in the end they will not uphold the philosophy(-ies) so often espoused.
