At Rose City we know that our employees are our greatest asset. Renee says, “It is extremely important to me that there is harmony in the office and everyone is treated with respect.” We have no cliques. The mortgage industry can be stressful and it helps to have calm in the office.
We know that people work their best when they are in charge of their work lives. Our employees set their own hours, are paid higher than industry standards and have excellent benefits. We also encourage our employees to make time out of the office to spend with their families, volunteering or doing things they enjoy. In the end, this benefits all of us.
We also believe in giving people a chance. We have been able to break the cycle of poverty by hiring people new to the mortgage business and training them.
You’ll also find more women working at Rose City than your typical mortgage company. We are well aware that women are often employed as loan processors and men are the loan officers, making ten times more than the women. We’re out to change all that.
Our Home
You notice the difference at Rose City when you arrive at our office. We want you to feel at home when you walk in the door. We’ve feng shuied the office to emphasize flowing energy and abundance. We cherish our Northwest environment and our artwork reflects that.
You won’t find a boardroom here, rather a living room, where we hold all our staff meetings—in a circle, to show that each person’s opinion is equally valued.
We believe in fun too. Every office has its politics and culture. We have our Buddhas. Six tiny Buddhas inhabit our space. It’s become a workplace custom to move the Buddhas from place to place. If you find one, keep the momentum going by moving it to a new location for the next person to find.
