"I have worked with PennyMac as a contractor for the past couple months and I love my coworkers, however, the growth in the company is minimal and contractors do not know if they will have a job at the end of their contract or not even when the hire on mark has passed."

"Overall a good company to work for it's very fast-paced and it teaches you a lot in a short amount of time. I think the company can do better as far as team management and some of their training styles it would help if they were able to be a little more flexible to accommodate every style of learning. No two people learn or process things I like."

"I’ve been working at Penny Mac for the past year and although it is a good company to work for, they are not a proactive company. They only react to issues after they arise which I feel will ultimately be the downfall of the company."
