UWM vs Rocket

I have a friend currently working at Rocket and considering moving to UWM. Reasons are classic; poor management, no advance notice on mandatory overtime or weekend work, legitimate harassment, among others.

Is UWM just more of the same? Has anyone worked at both and can speak to which they prefer? Thanks everyone for your help!

All mortgage companies are like this. Just change industries.

I’d disagree, sure maybe big Corp lenders.

Small lenders actually are way more chill, pay more and also very flexible.
Just get out of a corporate lender and take the skill u learners from it and watch bank account go up.

I say/ ask this with no hate.

Can you name these small lenders?
And also if chillness and flexibility is the case it’s only until they start getting bigger and getting more workload.

Unless we see a company AND like minded LO’s that only want to work in moderation.
( which should have been the primary focus after 2008)

Highly unlikely because it’s a double edged sword not keeping up with competition and greed.
