Pros

Consistent hours, helping customers with a vary niche product (Custom Construction Loan).

Cons

Management, culture, technology, training, pay, benefits. The workplace and the DM I reported to displayed cynicism, paranoia and self-interest. The culture in the NO area was toxic because of the in-fighting, fragmentation and failure to develop relationships and show any measure of caring about the "employees." Extremely high turnover in people because of this culture. Beware.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
