Pros

Available OT, flexible schedule, very understanding of family & personal time

Cons

This was a dream job for me in the beginning as I had no previous mortgage background but I hit the ground running, learning a great deal, becoming a high producer, and advancing to another department. As I was growing professionally, they brought in outside management that completely changed the structure of the organization. They went to a pod structure that essentially had us learning and doing more within the loan on top of our jobs, with no incentive. They did away with the Jr. Underwriting program, at no fault of our own, and with a month notice, hired/fired some and demoted the rest. Demotions that were two professional levels down which also came with a loss of salary. To say this ruined my love and loyalty for the company is very light. I wish we could have remained as the family culture NASB emphasizes but with outside influencers and organizational changes, we were not at all considered. I can also back the insensitive remark another reviewer brought in about Cinco de Mayo as I was on the same call. The comment was definitely made by a new NASB, higher-up executive, that had no business making such distasteful remarks. All around, it took no time for this job to become a dream to a true source of stress in my life that contributed to my decision to take another job.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration, as organizational changes are often not without occasional hiccups. To remain competitive in a very competitive mortgage market, NASB has invested heavily in new technology that will improve the customer experience and the daily work of our mortgage associates. This investment has required that we reorganize roles and responsibilities accordingly. We appreciate that change is never easy, and we are constantly tweaking the implementation process to make it smoother through consistent feedback from our associates, which has been invaluable. While this time of change has not been without some challenges, we still have a strong family culture at NASB, connected by a team of incredible associates who are helping us build a better, stronger and more sustainable bank for the future. We are genuinely sorry that your role at NASB no longer brought you joy at the end or that you no longer felt heard, but we appreciate your efforts while you were here as you no doubt contributed toward our growth. Our associates are what make NASB a leader in this industry. Please know that we care deeply about the happiness and successes of our associates, and we are confident that these changes, while not easy, will strengthen NASB and their associates for future success. We will use your feedback to evaluate ways we can ensure that our associates always feel like their voice matters—because it does. Good luck with your new position.

Pros

Incredible mentorship and leadership Repeatable systems for success and growth Ethical reputation and morally sound High commissions and incentives Fast pay Great training tools Long lasting positive reputation with carriers Easy to sell and fun

Cons

All comes down to the person that onboards you. If they are not doing their job and teaching you the systems and helping and training you well, the business can be hard. Very few bad trainers, if any, that I know of so just spend time with the people that are succeeding at the level you want to be at.
