Pros
There are some truly great people that work at Homeside. It is a fun environment for the most part, there are frequent happy hours and catered lunch. They pay for licensing and training. Always hiring because turnover is so high.
Cons
Very high turnover. Its easy to be ranked a best place to work when management "encourages" everyone to write their reviews while on the clock, with your manager standing over your shoulder. The truth is there is very little honesty from the first interview until your last day. They're salesmen, its their job to sell you on the company and the position and tell you what you want to hear to get you in the door. Pricing is terrible, and you will lose a lot of deals due to it. Benefits aren't great and neither is pay and commission structure. The Account Manager position that you are required to start in is basically telemarketing and making close to 300 cold calls daily. Also the timeline to become a Loan Officer is triple what they will actually tell you. Its closer to 6 months, not 60 days. A lot of favoritism and they reward all of the wrong people. If you came over with them from American Bank, you are treated much better than everyone else and will always be given priority. The quality of leads that they have been purchasing has declined, and management throws a fit when production declines due to it. Be prepared to be given dirty looks by your manager every time you leave your seat. They want you on the phones from 8:59am to 6:01pm. If you aren't a top producer they really do not care about you.
