Orion Lending

I wanted to take a moment to express how much I genuinely value the people I work with. Every day, I’m surrounded by young, driven, and incredibly helpful individuals who bring energy, creativity, and positivity into the workplace. Their willingness to support one another and approach challenges with an open mind makes a meaningful difference in the way we operate as a team. I also want to highlight how much I appreciate Sean as a manager. His leadership, patience, and clarity set the tone for success, and he consistently creates an environment where we can grow and feel supported. In addition, I want to acknowledge Sandra for her dedication, professionalism, and reliability. She is someone I know I can count on, and her presence makes the job smoother and more enjoyable. Altogether, working with people like this reminds me how fortunate I am to be part of such a strong, collaborative group.

The people, culture, office, and management are as great as could be here at Orion. The first 4 weeks consists of paid training, in which you learn the mortgage industry front and back, including lingo, what brokers expect, and then you learn Orion's product suite, how to better build connections, and how to sell in general. From our CRM, pipeline management, and handling objections effectively, all bases are covered. Management is supportive and available to help troubleshoot deals and provide training, especially early on. The workplace culture is competitive but collaborative — you're encouraged to hit your numbers, but there’s help when you need it. The hardest part of the job is keeping momentum through slower market cycles and managing time across multiple broker accounts. The most enjoyable part is seeing a deal come full circle and building relationships with brokers who rely on you for speed and product knowledge.

1. Drew final documents on refinance conventional, fixed equity and dry state purchases
2. Met established productivity levels and turnaround times as set by operations manager
3. Worked closely with processing, escrow and underwriting to sign off, verify and satisfy all prior to document and prior to funding conditions. 
4. Functions also include verifying lock accuracy and final fee sheets are in with federal and company guidelines. 
5. Prepare final wire sheets for lock desk. 
6. Assist in performing predatory lending tests on files
7. Crossed over to assist disclosure team in sending out change of circumstance forms

I have enjoyed my time here, and may continue to work here if things start to pick up for me. It is a cold calling job so be prepared for that. I have seen some success in getting Loan Officers signed up, but have not seen the fruit of my labor just yet. This job is a slow burn, delayed gratification type of job. You have to build a book of business in order to see consistent high pay. May be my fault, may just be the difficulty of the mortgage industry, or a mix of both. All I know is that I have been here for a decent amount of time now and I am still not making much. The team is extremely helpful, though and it is a great atmosphere to work in. If you think you can crush on the phone and are prepared for that. I would reccomend.

What is the best part of working at the company?
What I value most about working with Orion Lending is the culture and collective drive to deliver at the highest level. Everyone is committed to excellence, accountability, and speed. It’s a team built by salespeople who understand urgency, support each other, and consistently push to produce exceptional results for our broker partners.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The tasks are structured well, so stress is minimal.

The job description markets the account executive role as a real estate finance position. This could not be further from true. The job consist of cold calling and more cold calling no finance involved. The management sets unrealistic goals that if are not met you get fired. While I was working at Orion in the Charlotte office all of the top producers in the office quit or were let go. Orion does not care about its employees and the benefits spoken about in the job description are not true.

There was minimal training and mgmt makes promises of additional training that never happens expects you to be fully productive in few weeks. Very high volume stressful atmosphere. All of this I can handle but was let go without any written or verbal warnings which was very disappointing. I was never fired from a job in my entire career and felt was not given a fair chance to be successful before being let go.

I really value the strong sense of collaboration at Orion Lending. Teams consistently share knowledge, support one another, and create an environment where everyone’s expertise is welcomed and appreciated. It feels like a place where ideas can grow because people genuinely listen and work together toward common goals. The open communication and willingness to help across departments make it easy to contribute meaningfully and feel part of a unified, motivated team.

Great team of knowledgeable people serving to help borrowers through the mortgage process. The office environment is business casual with jean Fridays. Management provides a ton of fun activities for work balance with paid lunches, Holiday parties and time off. Forgiving in mistakes and works to build up the employees through coaching, encouragement and a professional attitude. Would recommend anyone in mortgage or support staff to work at this fine establishment.
