Pros

I've been in the industry for well over 12 years and the POD model has been the best! it avoids the babysitting files and has helped my business grow dramatically. I would have not been able to close over 20 Million in loan volume this year without the POD model. Marketing is great and has helped me build a well established relationship with customers. The technology department though is my favorite because of Docusign and Transfersafe which make the process paperless!

Cons

Great leadership and technology advance - keep it up!

The POD model is basically the best thing since sliced bread. You couldn't be more accurate about how it allows no more baby sitting of files and lets each team get down to business. Sprinkle some great marketing and fast turns times on-top, and you have yourself some happy customers. Thanks for the recommendation! We are enjoying your hard work.

Pros

I worked with the best of the best in my industry, led by a brilliant manager. Remote Work, Semi-Flexible Schedule, Overtime was allowed sometimes.

Cons

The volume of work was intense, and you were expected to find your own cover for shifts if you're taking any time off, pay was not enough for the amount of stress. Asked to have an owners mentality but when you actually put this in practice management steps in and takes over, excluding you from being able to own anything. Insurance was terrible, too expensive.
