Pros

The company was enjoying a high level of success and rapid growth and then lost it's way and lost some good employees.

Cons

During my first 12 months with Auto Approve the Loan Consultant compensation plan was changed 3 times. The first two adjustments seemed reasonable and was still able to make a pretty good living and the work environment was generally stable and supportive. The 3rd change was excessive and poorly timed as economic conditions changed and interest rates spiked. At the same time, the company loaded up on inexperienced, unprofessional managers. My last boss was an immature tyrant and I wasn't shocked to learn that he had previously been a manager at a strip club. All together it is a shame to see.....I was looking forward to a career with the company.

We’re glad to hear that the fast pace, leadership, and earning potential have helped to make this a great place to work for you. You’re 100% right, being open to feedback and willing to adapt is key in an environment like ours. That can be challenging for some, but we're very glad to hear that you thrive in it. We also appreciate the suggestion around holding more daily sales contests and will continue looking for ways to keep things engaging and motivating on a day-to-day & month-to-month basis.

Pros

When I started I was encouraged and trusted to follow my ambitions to help develop processes for an upcoming department. Leadership, although on different pages at times, saw the mutual goal and was able to work together to ensure fair and just protocols that served the best customer experience. Dynamic was that of a strong team moving through trial and errors. This isn’t to say there weren’t disagreements but they were usually worked though together. Truly a great stepping stone in my career and will remain one of my favorite jobs.

Cons

Toward the end of my experience and after much senior leadership change, processes were quickly redirected for more internal reasons that would ultimately no longer deliver best customer experience and allow there to be a lack of accountability to those creating hostile work environments. “Fighting the good fight” for customers and basic ethics was no longer welcome but rather made you a target. At my level of management, I felt I was used as a puppet to deliver the bad news to team members with no explanation and used as a shield for upper Management to not have to take the heat. I was no longer being given tools to develop and learn, I was now part of the problem. I ultimately left because I no longer felt valued and wanted to move on from the internal toxicity that bled from top down.
