Pros
Great management team that is supportive and approachable. The benefits package is excellent, and the compensation structure of base pay plus commission provides stability. The company pays for all work-related expenses, including gas and continuing education, which is a major advantage. Cross-department collaboration is generally smooth, and most teams are easy to work with.
Cons
There have been several rounds of layoffs throughout the year, which has created instability and uncertainty within the department. The appraisal department in particular has been shrinking. Communication between lenders and appraisers can be inconsistent, which sometimes creates confusion or inefficiencies. Due dates can be aggressive, adding pressure to workloads. While compensation is stable, overall pay is average compared to the broader appraisal market.
