Countrywide Home Work Values

Daily Duties at Countrywide Home:

Had a staff of 8-10 Sales Reps (Home Mortgage Consultants) and an operations staff of 6-8. Staffing requirements often caused fluctuations in the numbers. All reported to me. Recruit, Hire, and Train new employees, educate the existing staff on any changes in compliance with Federal and/or Company Regulations, monitor progress on staff, initiate Performance Improvement Plans, Terminate when necessary. Review P&L and optimize returns, set projections, budgets, and all the mundane work associated with that kind of management. In addition, I was to produce home mortgage loans AND manage the branch. We were in the top 5 in Florida for profitability while I operated the store. Shortly after I left, the company was bought out by Bank of America.

What they like about Countrywide Home:

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
