Five mortgage-related companies were rated among the country’s 100-best employers by their workforce. The top-rated mortgage firm has made the list each of the last 15 years.
The best employer among all U.S. industries for 2018 was salesforce.com, where 94 percent of the more than 17,000 employees say the workplace is great.
San Francisco-based salesforce’s employees also say it is committed to learning and innovating — keen to try new things, and always ready to support new ideas.
That is according to
the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For 2018. The findings reflect surveys of more than 315,000 employees by Great Place to Work.
Companies that made the list have at least a thousand employees with
enough survey responses to achieve a 95 percent confidence level and a no more than 5 percent margin of error.
No. 14 on the list — and the highest-ranking mortgage-related company — was Quicken Loans Inc. It slipped from No. 10 in 2017 but has reportedly made the top 100 for 15 consecutive years.
Average compensation for “mortgage bankers” at the Detroit-based lender
is $184,855. Fortune noted that people are respected and opinions are heard. Team members are considered its greatest asset.
While the report indicated
that Quicken reported headcount of 15,122 for the ranking, it reported a staff of 17,474 as of Feb. 1.
San Antonio, Texas-based USAA was in 19th position on Fortune’s list, improving from No. 47 a year earlier. Staffing was reported at 32,094 employees.
“The USAA mission makes USAA a great place to work,” one employee was quoted as saying. “The military community is who we serve, and it personally gives me joy to know that we can make a positive difference in their lives just as they make a difference in ours.”
At No. 32 in the latest ranking, Veterans United Home Loans slipped from 27th position in 2017.
Staffing at the Columbia, Missouri-based organization was reported at 2,419.
Navy Federal Credit Union nabbed the 42nd position, improving by five slots from last year. The Vienna, Virginia-based financial institution reported a company-wide staff of 14,462. As part of the the Mortgage Daily Fourth Quarter 2017 Mortgage Origination Survey, Navy reported a mortgage staff of 1,441 as of Dec. 31, 2017.
Fifth among mortgage-related employers and No. 63 overall was First American Financial Corp. The Santa Ana, California-based business
reported a U.S. staff of 12,373 people — of which 88 percent said it was a great workplace.
