Pros

The President of the company is really great, and very approachable. He will listen to ideas and is always encouraging a positive company culture. We often have potlucks, and contests where you can win free company swag and dedicated parking spots every month. Also they frequently give away Suite tickets to Real Salt Lake soccer games during the season. It can be a stressful environment due to the nature of the industry, but they really do try to make it fun. There are so many great people that work here also. Dress code is pretty relaxed, we do not usually meet clients so you can wear jeans and t-shirts. Serving Veterans truly is a priority, and the company works with a lot of charity events, including an annual golf tournament and giving away Thanksgiving dinners to military families. They also encourage promoting within the company, so if you want to learn more and do something else there is opportunity for advancement. Overall, it is a great place to work. They also offer medical, dental, vision benefits, and a retirement plan for most employees.

Cons

They say they will train you if you do not have prior mortgage experience, which is true; however, the training is not very organized. You will sit with someone who is probably busy and harried by deadlines, and there is not yet any Corporate training about loans, or specifically VA loans, or RESPA or TRID laws. You kind of learn as you go, which can be difficult in such a deadline-driven industry.
