Pros

My department has a good manager and team. If we could function as our own company, we would be great. I get more paid holidays and PTO than any of my previous jobs.

Cons

The worst HR department that I've ever seen. Totally incompetent. Unfortunately you have to deal with them for benefits and other issues. Terrible insurance and benefits also. The IT department is also not much better. It's rare that an issue is dealt with the first time it's reported. And the pay is the lowest I've had in 12 years. No bonus or incentives, just base pay, which is unusual in this industry. First company I've ever worked for that didn't even give a Christmas bonus.

Parkside Lending Response
9y
We appreciate the feedback and take it to heart. To respond to a few of your comments: - Regarding the support teams, we went through an accelerated growth period during 2015 expanding from lending only in California to lending across the nation. Some of the infrastructure components were not able to keep up with the growth, and we heard from others at Parkside that we were falling short. Since that time we have staffed up in HR and IT as well as integrated new systems that are geared toward our larger size and will now be able to scale with us as we continue to grow at a more measured pace. - On the issue of benefits, according to others in our industry we understand that our benefits package is quite strong, and we are rolling out bonus plan for all ops departments that tie monthly bonus directly to a performance score. So employees who are meeting or exceeding benchmarks are immediately rewarded. This program has been rolled out to the three largest loan ops departments so far.
