Avantages
I absolutely love my job with Reverse Mortgages.com. While we are technically a start-up company, the same group of mortgage professionals has been working together for over a decade. We really are a work family here with supportive colleagues and management. Our success in the market has allowed our owner to implement increasingly advantageous benefits for the employees, including a stellar health plan, flexible time off, and 401k matching (coming soon). Additionally, we have a lot of fun at quarterly events and regular pot-lucks, baby & wedding showers, birthday treats, and celebrations in the office. As a Loan Officer, I have the chance to work harder in order to make more money - our website is a wonderful marketing source that has allowed me to be a very successful part of the team and achieve many of my life goals.
Inconvénients
Having this much passion for your job often comes with the side effect of added stress. The Mortgage industry is a roller coaster with ups and downs outside of the company's control. While there are amazing opportunities to be had, legislative and market changes cause occasional hiccups that require us to buckle down and work hard as a team to get through a bad quarter every so often. The lows have caused us to grow closer as a work community, and the highs are high enough to make the ride more than worth it!
