Reviews about "free lunch"
Return to all Reviews- 3.0Mar 8, 2019Mortgage Loan OfficerFormer Employee, less than 1 year
Pros
They were aggressively growing and provided sweet benefits like student loan payments and catered lunch. They treated the employees they laid off pretty well, it could have been better.
Cons
They laid off hundreds of employees by restructuring their mortgage division due to advice from McKinsey and not from the actual mortgage loan officers that had some descent suggestions for improved profitability.
8 - 1.0Jul 24, 2020Flex ReviewFormer Employee, more than 3 years
Pros
Ok pay, 100% health premium covered. $120 bi weekly for lunches, bonus quarterly if you qualify. They do free lunches and give out giftcards when you win stuff
Cons
First year there was ok. They let go of a whole mortgage dept and had to volun-tell a whole group of reviewers to move to money or flex. They over hired so they repurposed us for their use which we didn’t apply for. The schedule sucked so bad even when people left the company and their spot opened up, it wasn’t given to anyone else or even a chance to get it. We were monitored by a scorecard but they held our schedules. So we were a business needs team. The entire idea is chaotic. They switch up our schedules with barely any notice and affects our stats. There is no consistency in the job and your lunches and breaks are moved around so much. This is a basic call center job that is back to back calls. There are few managers that are good. Movement upward opportunities is “who you know” so suck up to who you need to move up. They don’t respect you. Culture and any kind of inclusivity is out the door. Its a joke that this place made me feel like my time there was a waste. Lesson learned and moving on from this terrible employer.
