Trying in ALL the Wrong Ways

Pros

Generally, the people are pretty nice to work with and most do seem genuinely kind.

Cons

So many: - There is so much pressure to come into the office despite COVID restrictions and the fact that 90% of employees have been hired and contracted as remote - The CEO and his wife flaunt their “celebrity” status and claim they want to change the mortgage industry to be more upbeat and cater to younger generations. but they are too stuck in their old traditional ways and never bother to listen to the suggestions and insight their employees and other leaders have to make. - Too many waves of layoffs, of highly important people, and the CEO claiming he will hire everyone back later on. Not sure he even cares about his employees - Leadership doesn’t seem to care if teams are understaffed from layoffs or people quitting. Instead of rehiring, responsibilities are spread throughout the rest of the team to handle. - There have been no raises for ANYONE. What? - for a billionaire who claims to care about his employees and fakes a flawless company face to the public, he sure struggles to manage a proper budget. All these layoffs and people quitting, yet no one sees an increase in department budget or rehiring or raises - he’s laid off half of IT. Not sure how the chief leaders think they can run a company of a dwindling 250something employees to 3 IT people when majority of employees work remote.

Pros

There is nothing good to say about Kind other than Patrick Pennington & April Perrine

Cons

Kind lending is Stearns 2.0 with all the same people heading it. EVERY SINGLE African American person that was hired, eventually got laid off on the retail side. It is NOT diverse at all and if you are diverse I would think twice before applying. It is 99% white people working there. You are supposed to be 'loyal' to them as they have software that tells them if you are on indeed looking for another job, yet they have no loyalty towards you. They offer THREE day bereavement when someone passes away. If there is a question about production or your history they will not ask you, they will make their own assumptions and act accordingly.

Pros

The name itself is a good reason. They really are Kind bunch of people. Everyone was nice to work with.

None, until they all of sudden one day sent a notification/invitation for a company call.
