Although I set my own hours I'm pretty disciplined with the hours I work and try to stay consistent.  A typical day for me begins early but I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as long as I can plan ahead when I commit to my hours.  I work full time and although its a decent job it is not a job for everyone.  If you need someone to motivate you to work this is not the job for you.  If you need constant or any reassurance you are doing a good job this is not the job for you.  If you get your feeling hurt when you get a nasty email from mgmt this is definitely NOT the job for you.    After 4 years working remotely the only time I hear from mgmt is when I do something wrong.  Thankfully I don't get a lot of emails because I do the same thing over and over and my mistakes are minimal.  I will also note that not all mgrs are nice about their approach.  I was shocked initially at how blatantly disrespectful the mgmt team is to its employees and they put it in writing (lol) but now it doesn't phase me.  I have been on calls where managers have been very "free" with their language but again after 4 years I'm used to how things run at AMC.  Most of the mgrs if you can reach them are helpful and I think it really helped implementing the new process to assist with resolving issues on individual loans.  Since I work well independently and appear to do a good job I have very limited interaction with the mgmt team.  I would like to see the mgmt team be more open in their communications with employees.  On many occasions I hear things "out in town" as they say before mgmt informs us so mgmt should be more proactive or find the source of the information leak.  I think mgmt could do a better job information employee ahead of time if they see a slow down coming instead of a weeks notice or sometimes no notice at all.  More opportunity should be given for employees to cross train but I think AMC doesn't want to absorb the cost of the cross training so they don't offer it.  There is nothing hard about what I do which is why I think it would be nice to have the opportunity to expand with additional training.  I think AMC would benefit from employees who are cross trained than segregating them into specific scopes.  My advice to mgmt would be to cross train your top performers on multiple scopes and utilize them as needed.  It would allow AMC to eliminate the non performing employees without compromising deadlines.  It would also allow AMC the versatility in the contracts they take on knowing they have competent trained employees that can be juggled between scopes to meet any deadline.  I think the most enjoyable part of my job is having a steady workflow because its frustrating when work is slow or there is not work.   Overall its not a bad company to work for if you can handle the instability in the work flow and the free spirit mgmt approach to communication.

Unequivocally one of the worst companies I have ever worked for.

Extremely micromanaged, production-based company. Instructions for a deal were sent via email, along with a minimum production expectation of x or y files per hour. Then, when you got into the file to look at the documents, you would be surprised that they would expect for it to take such a small amount of time for review. The files received were sometimes complete gibberish with impossible formatting, and you were expected to somehow decipher it, and not only that, but make ZERO errors. 

Management couldn't get a clue if they were walking in a field of clues during clue-mating season while doused in clue musk. Your inbox was a treasure chest of poorly written emails with confusing directives--sometimes instructions given were impossible to follow (as in, you did not have the correct system permissions to do the task given--you'd think management would know who has access to a function). Ask two different managers and get two completely different responses.

Coworkers were friendly and tried to help whenever possible, but overall office morale was incredibly low. Again, management either didn't have a clue, or, more likely, didn't care. HR was as helpful as a Little Tykes xylophone.

If there was no work, you would not work and you would not get paid. When there was too much work, you were expected to work overtime. If the daily quotas, even with overtime, were not being met (because they often promised unrealistic deadlines to the clients), mandatory overtime would be enforced. It was held against you if you did not work mandatory overtime.

Make no mistake, this company only cares about lining their own pockets. They don't even care about the clients, although they will swear up and down that they do. Make your bit of money and get out as soon as you can, and only stay here long-term if you have exceptional money management skills, as you may find yourself out of work longer than expected.

If you have Underwriting experience you will fair much better in this job.  This is a Compliance, post close file review, Underwriting type job.  if you just have basic mortgage knowledge it will be much harder to adjust.  Training is one week, covers very little of what you actually have to do, they expect you to learn/ask questions as you go.  If your remote all things are done by email, so it may take awhile to get a response.  It was the most stressful job I have ever had, you are timed on everything you do, the clock is right there on the screen.  You are scored on all your work.  Your worked is reviewed by others.    Literally your scored for items that have no bearing whatsoever on the UW of the loan.  I actually did very well.  But the stress factor was horrible.  I have never been so stressed in my life.    I think the COVID 19 was a disaster here, the position has ITO (time off with no pay), you could take the ITO when there was no work, Ask to be furloughed - but there was no guarantee you will be hired back ( they said this) when COVID was over, or you could quit (so no unemployment pay).  You decide, is that how you want to be treated by a company?  They could have allowed employees to get the money from the government, but they didn’t want to lose out and have no people available if and when they had a day or two of work.  Very disappointing.  Their benefits are not good.  10 days PTO and 1% for retirement match.  Oh and if you have ITO you do not earn PTO, and if you use your PTO to supplement your pay when on ITO, then you have no vacation time left.  Oh also when your on ITO they wait till 5:00 pm or later each day to tell you if you need to work the next day, so you can’t use your ITO for anything fun, as you need to be by the phone in case there may be work.  You literally are at their beck and call, not getting paid. 

I have 2 experiences with this company. They offer some remote opportunities which lead me to apply. In my first position, a simple process became long and laborious when we were required to sift through 300 individual PDF pages due to their system problems. Each page would have to be looked at to see if needed information was on it. If you were one of the unlucky one who got these files, you were told that you were going to slow and removed from the project. This was unfair to anyone who got these files in their pipeline. This position was through a staffing agency. I blame management for allowing the contractors to take the heat for their technical problems. This happened in 2013.

Since they offer remote work, I went back and applied via their job portal. After completing a 4 part lengthy exam, I got a message saying that I needed to complete the test. I reached out to Human Resources and they pretty much did not respond. Because I wanted to see why I was getting this message, I reached out to an individual in the talent acquisition team and they told me they were disinterested in my application (even though I had passed). They also told me that they were not hiring last month or this month so I wasted my time. This was all communicated very rudely in an email I was shocked, as I had been in communication with this very same person from talent acquisition and they told me to apply. They indicated that they would keep it in there records so that when opportunities came up, I could be considered. I have never been treated so horribly by any company, let alone a head of a department. This happened in 2014.

However, don't let this review scare you away. I just want to share what my experience was. Perhaps you will have more luck.

Worst place I've ever worked. This is primarily due to ITO (Involuntary Time Office) Policy where you are laid off - sometimes for weeks and even months at a time - when they don't have enough work for you. I work there full-time, but have hundreds of hours of ITO, so my actual wages for the year are almost poverty level. The hourly wage is just ok ($16.00), but only if you work 40 hours a week.
Frequently you get bad or non-existent instructions on how to complete assignments. There are some supervisors who are great, but the higher-ups in general don't seem to care about employees at all. I once heard one say to another that giving clear instructions in writing on each assignment (they can last for months and can be complicated) was "coddling" the employees. 
Supposedly they tell you about the possibility of ITO when you are interviewed, but I was never told about it, and neither were a lot of my fellow employees. I was just told there would be tons of overtime, and could I handle it.I saw some overtime, but not much. 
If you still feel you want to apply there, my advice is to only apply for salaried positions, not hourly.
p.s They often try to get hourly employees to hang around the office with no pay while they get their computers up or have some other problem.

Working for AMC as a temporary was okay, if you had files to work on. I completed an average of 15 to 20 files in an eight hour day. However, if there were no files to work on, I didn't get paid.
 I went as long as two weeks without a file, nor did I get paid during that time, which is not what I signed up for.

They did not tell me when I signed on, that I would not be paid when there were no files to work on.

There was no workplace culture because I worked at home, and we only had meetings about every two or three weeks.


I was in Quality Control of post-closing files, and verified conversations between mortgage service representatives and mortgagee. I also did payment records, bankruptcy, and foreclosure files, to find why mortgages went into Payment Defaults, Foreclosures, and Loss Mitigation. 

I was QC'd by other supposed Quality Control people who made mistakes doing their job, as I caught their mistakes in more than 70% of my files when I followed up on their reports on me, and I let management know, but nothing was ever done about it because it kept on happening, and I kept on keeping records of the incidents.


I never met or talked to the CEO of American Mortgage Consultants, so I can't say that I approve or disapproved of him/her, which is asked in the Rate the CEO question below.

The company should really require management to take inclusive and discrimination training. I have witnessed and been subject to discriminatory, micro aggressive, and racist comments over the time I’ve been at this company. When complaining to HR, I was told I shouldn’t be so sensitive to comments. In light of all the media attention around racism the company released a statement stating discrimination of any form in wrong, however, there are still discriminatory and racist management and employees still employed. The company cares more about revenue than ensuring the work environment is non-discriminatory and fair analysis/feedback of work is given. One can work so hard and exceed the expectations of the role, however, when your evaluated based on the color of your skin and not the quality of your work you start to question the façade the company is trying to publicly display. As a minority I would be remiss if I wasn’t honest about my experience and shed light on what really transpires for entry level minority groups. Company promises raises and bonuses but employees never receives it, however, the company rather acquire more companies than pour into the employees. Please be aware and cautious when applying! 

I learned a lot about the commercial real estate business while working here. Some managers trust their employees to do what they were hired to do with little supervision while others feel they need to constantly hover over your shoulder. There are managers who are allowed to bully their team members and talk to them as if they are not competent enough to perform their daily tasks. Workload is not evenly distributed and people are often asked to complete tasks without the proper training and are subsequently punished for not being able to do so. This is not a pleasant work environment and I would not recommend the company to anyone looking for a long term career with room for growth into management positions.

A typical day was handling issue of commericial real estate clients. Situs had a serious complaint from their clients. The clients were not getting their problems handled. My responsibility was to contact client and get the problems handled. At first the clients were very upset about not receiving resolution to their accounts. So being insulted/cursed out was a daily part of the job for a little while. Once I handle their account most of the time I received an apology and thank you. Working with my co-workers was a joy. We worked as a team to help each other with the handling of the accounts when we had no idea how to begin to handle.  My whole team was new including my manager who was employed after me. The hardest part of the job was waiting on other departments to do their part in resolving the problem such as escrow issues. The enjoyable part of the job was being productive and alleviating the many problems, getting a smooth flow of business. 

I was hired on as contract with potential for perm, and conveniently the project started running out of work just before my 90 days were up. As an analyst, you are paid per loan - so you basically are stuck to your desk with very few breaks. The review time requirements are unrealistic, and the QA reviews range drastically and are mostly opinion based. Training was short and subpar (with 50+ people remotely trying to learn everything in 2 days of training) and communication was poor. Any question gets sent through a ticketing email system and most of the responses I received back were disappointing in their lack of valuable information. Once someone is hired on permanent, full time work is still not guaranteed and you have to earn your 5 days of vacation. Clearly it seems like the bottom line for this company is their pockets, and not the individual.
