Current Employee – been working at Caliber Funding full-time

ProsCaliber is adding people fast so there is a lot of opportunity. The people are truly great, and there is a lot of room to bring ideas to the table.

ConsCaliber is growing really fast, so just some normal growing pains of bringing on large numbers of employees in a short period of time.

– I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Dallas, TX (US)

Current Employee – been working at Caliber Funding full-time for less than a year

ProsGreat work environment & awesome culture. Employees are empowered to make decisions and those decisions are supported. Co-workers are fun and great to work with, more like a family that supports one another. Management allows you freedom to take ownership of your projects with very little micromanaging

ConsIt would be rough if this were your first place to work since it would be hard to beat Caliber as a great place to work! Not enough hours in the day for all of the cool ideas that surface!

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to be transparent and inviting to innovation. Never lose site of the unique culture that makes Caliber the company that it is. Keep up the great work!

Dallas, TX (US)

Current Employee – been working at Caliber Funding full-time

ProsThis company's culture is truly amazing. Employees are encouraged to give open and honest feedback and to think "outside of the box". The different departments within Caliber pull together and work as a team which is extremely refreshing. It's great to know that your co-workers have your back and can depend on one another.

ConsNo real cons. We are currently experiencing very rapid growth so just some normal growing pains of bringing on large numbers of employees in a short period of time.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep up the good work!

Dallas, TX (US)

Current Employee – been working at Caliber Funding full-time

ProsSince change of Senior Management took place, the company is taking major steps to becoming a true mortgage lending force in nation. New growth of mortgage originators and branch locations show the dedication to capturing market and providing concierge service to the clients. Agressive compensation, benefits and fantastic culture.

ConsFast growth comes with growing pains, but the focus of resolution and fast response to issues offsets this.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep customer service as #1 goal and employee satisfaction #2. It's a winning combination.

West Baton Rouge, LA (US)

Current Employee – been working at Caliber Funding full-time for less than a year

ProsExcellent supporting staff where underwiters make common sense decisions.If it is a good loan and it makes sense Caliber will be willing to approve it.Nice to be where approvals are actually based on system findings without the overlays that other lenders experience.

ConsIf underwriting could get to 48 hrs it would be great.Due to increase volume turntimes are longer.If new underwriters are hired please make sure they are up on current guidelines so that files can be approved quicker.Best to only hire the cream of th crop

Los Angeles, CA (US)

Current Employee – been working at Caliber Funding full-time for less than a year

ProsThe perfect balance between the Broker and the Bank. Excellent benefits and Support Staff. Competitive Rates, including Jumbo, without the pressure from management. Company has people doing large volume and others small volume but everyone seems important. Great technical support too. Solid realtor tools and searching for more and always willing to either participate or fund them.

ConsTypical growing pains but company appears aggressive in dealing with it and is anticipating the necessary hires in advance.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep doing what you are doing while continuing to be aggressive in the Jumbo market.

Minneapolis, MN (US)

Current Employee – been working at Caliber Funding full-time for more than a year

ProsCaliber has provided me with tools and methods to grow my business. They asked what support I needed. Then they followed through and supported me. Attitudes are great. My coworkers are knowledgeable and fun. The LOS is easy to use. I love being paperless. When I make a suggestion, they follow through and either implement it or explain why it's not implemented. Over 30 of my suggestions have been implemented, which have made processes flow more smoothly. From a company that is so large, it's amazing how well they listen to even 1 person. I am not a number, I am valued.

ConsEven though LOS is easy, it's a bit slow. They are improving this.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep up the great work. Keep listening to us and providing us with tools and we'll keep working hard.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Muncie, IN (US)

Current Employee – been working at Caliber Funding full-time for less than a year

ProsThe management of this company looks out for all the employees to ensure that they do have a life and stress the importance of family (not typical of mortgage companies). The most sincere and honest group of people that I have ever met.

ConsI have been here less than a year but I can't see why anybody would not want to work here.

Advice to Senior ManagementMarket this company so that it will be a household name and the company that all Realtors want to turn to first.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
