Pros

Before February I would have said this is a great company to work for. That's about all I can think of.

Cons

Do not get tricked! Read previous reviews as well! The company "closed down" February 15th. Corey, the CEO, gathered everyone in the office stated there was not enough cash flow, the company couldn't sustain and it's closing down. No problem, happens quite often in the industry. All the employees gathered unemployment packets and went on their way. Turns out they stayed open, lied to their employees, told the borrowers it was just a "downsizing" and that the company never truly closed. Instead, they stayed open and let a few LOs gather the commission on all the "unemployed" LOs loans in the pipeline. Extremely shady business. On top of that, they had just recently hired some Jr. LOs who quit their jobs to come work for Strive only to be let go. If you don't believe me, look up any prior LOs on LinkedIn and reach out. Stay far, far away.

Pros

Amazing company! I had no idea that it was a start up and what this industry was all about. I was interviewing for another mortgage brokerage firm and after much thought and consideration I decided to give Strive Lending a shot. All of the things I thought about while considering this job came to be true. Company culture is nothing like I have ever experienced in a professional environment. It's a work hard play hard kind of environment. If you put in the work you will be compensated beyond your wildest dreams. Everyone here is super nice and helpful. Upper management definitely wants to see you do good. They will train you and guide you every step of the way in order to make sure you succeed. It's an open door policy so you could talk to upper management including the CEO if you have any concerns. They treat you well and you get access to energy drinks and snacks through out the day. If you get a job offer with us you are honestly being offered a job at one of the best companies out there in an industry that is very lucrative.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any at this time. You just need to put in the effort and show that you are an asset to the team. What company wouldn't want you to be an asset though?
