Pros

You're able to work remotely is the ONLY pro. Otherwise beware!

Cons

They LOVE layoffs! 2 in a year... WOW! There was a layoff several months ago, which should've been a red flag to GO! Pipelines were scarce then and then dwindled tremendously and never filled during "hot" season, which led to another layoff. Yes, the market is bad but even when it was "great" the company just doesn't produce a lot. Health insurance JUST changed and was even more expensive than the prior plan. Because they pay weekly, benefits ended immediately lol. They shouldve looked at the entire picture and at least gave employees a warning to prepare. Severance package was hot dumpster juice! Based on prior reviews, they never cared and likely never will! Next time, layoff employees that continuously make mistakes that cost your company money! Not the ones that continuously fix them.

Thank you for your feedback. Open Mortgage, like other companies, has an obligation to customers, business partners, and employees to make difficult decisions to ensure the ongoing success of the business. Rising interest rates and a slowing housing market have resulted in staff reductions at nearly all mortgage companies nationwide. We have not been immune to those challenges. No one loves layoffs; unfortunately, excellent employees were affected. Although health insurance premiums did increase this year, Open Mortgage took on much of the cost of the increase to keep increases for our employees as low as we could. It was not announced, but the owners did give up their salaries as part of cost-saving measures. If you would like to discuss your concerns further, we encourage you to contact HR anytime. We wish you the best and appreciate all you did as part of the Open Mortgage team.
