Pros

Potential to make a good monthly bonus. However, keep in mind to do that you need to put in 10-12 hour days and work weekends.

Cons

High paced fast moving production environment where numbers come before people and any work/life balance. Overtime is expected and if you leave “on time” after 40 hours you’re almost looked down upon as not being a high quality employee because you’d like to spend time with your family, friends, or whatever other obligations you have. It’s acceptable for processing and sales to be disrespectful or overly aggressive in email as there’s no accountability and at lost a slap on the wrist thus creating a hostile work environment. Zero training on the “Cooper-ism” ways of doing things. Even if you have experience underwriting in other places for some reason this place thinks their way is the only way and at times sales will combine 2-3 polices that don’t go work together on a loan and try to get you to push it though and if you push back you’ll see how fast that escalation train will leave the station with you strapped to the top.

Pros

Job security; Mr Cooper services nearly 4 million loans in their portfolio, making them one of the largest lenders in the country. You will always be busy taking calls, regardless of what the monetary outcome is. Lunch is provided for time to time depending on mood of higher executives.

Cons

Where do I even start.....I gave the place two stars (instead of one) because the business model works for lower producing professionals, and this review is not intended for them. It's no secret that Mr. Cooper charges their existing clients excessive fees to refinance along with higher than average rates so you're fighting an uphill battle from the start. They don't have ANY IDEA how to market to their own book of business, and don't care to honestly. They have such a large servicing portfolio and are laser focused on growing their portfolio rather than improving the health of the loans they service, and trust me when I say they're very content with that. The leads you receive all day are customer service warm transfer calls from current customers (regardless of what they call in for: late on their payments, wanting a W9 form for tax filing purposes, wondering why their escrow went up, wanting to make a payment etc) which convert at 10-15% of your daily call intake at an average. The place is ran like an aggregate call center, demanding you to stay logged into the call queue and being passive aggressive with you DIRECTLY if you're not always available. Their "retention" leads they push you to call in any down time to (following up with previous applicants who haven't moved forward) are completely EXHAUSTED and overworked. These clients have been called at least 20+ times, and are extremely upset (that's IF they answer). COMPENSATION is terrible. I mean BEYOND terrible. you will work 50-60 hours a week for an average of about $18-26/hr to put things into perspective which may be fine for a lot of people, but the anxiety and pressure to always be grinding away on the phones isn't worth it. Take my advice, there's better places you can work with far less stress for that amount of money. On top of everything, there's no structure in processing. More than half the processing staff doesn't know what they're doing, make countless mistakes, don't respond to you if you ask for updates, and regardless of what they say their "average funding time is" you can count on majority of your loans taking 2-3 months to close. If you do end up advancing from your sales position, it's ONLY going to be because the person ahead of you stepped down or quit. That's not a good culture to be spending so much time around.

Pros

Free Lunch and Dinner, Bonus.

Cons

Mr Cooper requires 8-10 touches a day in 8 hours. You will experience a very HOSTILE Environment. You will wear 2 hats (Processor/Underwriter). The Managers don't care about your work/life balance often asking for late evening and weekend work sometimes only given a day notice. You will work daily thru your lunch hour and late evening/weekends. If you desire a work life balance this is not the company for you. Management will not support claims against you from QA/QC but instead you will be written up for UNUSUAL defects. The Managers will write you up at the drop of a dime and tell you later don't worry about it and terminate you later. You will not have time to review your loans and you will feel overwhelm daily to the point of tears DAILY!
