      Not real sure what they are doing

      Branch manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I learned a lot about the mortgage industry. The benefits are good. When things were good the compensation was good and the job was good. When things turned south the job became very unsatisfying.

      Cons

      There is a lot of talk as to how the loan options being offerred were benefitting the customers. As interest rates in the sub prime market increased our ability to offer potential customers a reasonable loan option became very rare. We ended up doing risky high interest rate loans to customers that would have a difficult time paying them back. It became difficult to feel good about the job knowing that you were really not helping customers anymore. And the loans that were getting through were going to have a high probability of defaults and delinquency. The changes that were being made by the company were insufficient to account for the changing lending environment.

      HSBC, still positioned for growth

      Senior marketing analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits package, good work life balance (although it depends on your manager) and great facilities. Work from home remote capabilities as well. Had good advancement opportunities, was able to lead projects and teams relatively early in my professional career. Made a few income jumps, but had to be patient.

      Cons

      Took a while to get into a decent salary range. Hit hard by the financial services meltdown, but since they got out of mortgage they have a stronger future. Was laid off from the mortgage division, but was able to get a great severance package.
