"Countrywide is where the soul goes to die. As you moved up in the ranks people got lazier and expected their underlings to work twice as hard to continue pad their bank accounts. No one was interested in a work/life balance and you were only as good as your last month. I did very well at the company and made quite a bit of money at the expense of my family and personal life....Working 11-14 hour days, I took off maybe 5 saturdays a year in my career there. Middle and Upper Management couldn't be more nepotisitc and underhanded...truely the bottom of the barrel of the finance world with the attitude that their $hit didn't stink. Well most of those self-proclaimed big time money makers are still on unemployment."
