"While this career path is not an easy one it is one that I enjoy. The various program types, challenging files and the ever-changing market intrigue me to learn more each day. The biggest pleasure I get is knowing when I have done my best to complete the process for a Borrower that had dreamt of home ownership now come to fruition."
"I love everything - I don't like if loan does not close for some reasons."
"I love the feeling of providing our customers exactly what they need and are asking for.What I dislike about it: nothing."
"Being a Transactional Underwriter means there are periods of time where you are very busy and have a large opportunity for overtime and extra income. Conversely, there are times when there are no assignments and there is no income for weeks at a time. The free time every so often is a definite perk, but the down time is probably the worst aspect of this type of contract employment."
"I love the constant changes to the mortgage field, although the training sometimes from company to learn new items is lacking."
"Positive is the variety the position affords me which keeps the position interesting."
"The only part of the underwriting position I dislike is when you have to work with under qualified loan officers and processors who do not do their job with full capacity. I love helping the borrower(s) to purchase their first home, or simply refinance to put themselves in a better finance position. Sometimes I have to advise the borrower(s) that this is not the right time to purchase or refinance because they do not qualify. Team management is a major component. It's all about the attitude."
"I love my job as an underwriter, and enjoyed working as an auditor."
"Working from home there is a lot of support for remote staff."
"I get to tell people NO... and sometimes YES."
"Worst place to work. Management is not available, no they are just stupid."
"I love what I do. Helping people realize their goals is a great way of life!"
