Senior Underwriter - Underwriter Wintrust Mortgage Employee Review

We value our employees and obtain annual benchmarking surveys from industry specific compensation vendors to ensure that our employees are compensated fairly and that pay is commensurate with performance, experience and position. Our overall compensation also takes into account our excellent benefits package provided through Blue Cross Blue Shield, Prudential, and Humana. Other benefits include our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Health and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts. The 401(k) program is available to all permanent employees that work greater than 20 hours per week on their 1st day of employment and has traditionally included an employer match component. We strongly encourage all employees to participate in our 401(k) program and offer 401(k) training sessions twice a year to educate our employees on this important retirement tool. The mortgage industry is cyclical, with more people buying homes in the spring and summer months. We strive to balance staffing and volume by utilizing a variable staffing model, and advise those temporary employees accordingly. Wintrust Mortgage also believes in employee engagement and recognition. At our Rosemont headquarters, Wintrust’s various business units each take turns hosting a free monthly lunch for our employees. Our employee recognition culminates in our annual awards ceremony held each January. This month we recognized dozens of our outstanding employees, includes sales, operations, and corporate services staff across all of our offices. Customer and employee satisfaction are at the top of our list.
