Best Place to Work - Konstruktionsingenieur / Schweißfachingenieur bei First Union: Mitarbeiterbewertung

When I accepted a position as a Junior funding specialist at First Union Lending I came in with a ton of sales experience but I had never worked in finance. During my interview with David he explained that First Union is in the business of helping people with their dreams. I could make money and help people and those were the principals that drive the owners and employees. While I was nervous about going into a new arena everyone at First Union has been so helpful and attentive the nervousness didn’t last long. The training with David was so thorough and complete that I felt ready to go on the first afternoon of my first day…..and he let me! I made a few mistakes but he and everyone around me showed they were there to help and I really felt like they had my back. I’ve learned so much about sales and sales techniques in my time here. Sales psychology that I never had considered in past jobs. I’ve become an expert in the different loans and programs First Union offers ranging from short term, mid term and long term loans, Lines of Credit, SBA loans, credit card processing, equipment financing, bridge loans, debt consolidation, expansion loans, invoice factoring, Healthcare Provider loans, commercial real estate loans, interest only loans, the difference between unsecured and collateralized loans…so many amazing products! I’m continuing to grow personally and professionally. The culture of patience, respect and courtesy that has been created is really a huge departure from other places I’ve worked. I’ve watched the underwriters coach people and help them understand their loans before signing contracts. They have even refused to move forward with loans if it would hurt the customer’s company. Who does that? At First Union, we do that! I make great money, have great benefits, great training and complete support here at First Union. Best Job Ever!
