    Organization's Culture

    ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE....

    In 2007, more than 150 mortgage lenders went out of business. The housing and mortgage markets were distressed.

    Of the top 10 nonprime real estate lenders from a year ago, only four are still in the nonprime lending business. Wells Fargo Financial, of course, is one of them.

    Because we practice responsible lending, only making loans we believe the borrower has the ability to repay, we are not facing many of the issues that have plagued others in the mortgage industry. Companies that are able to weather challenging times have an opportunity to responsibly capture more market share.

    Your career is too important to take unnecessary risks. Join the team that is uniquely positioned to suceed in today's challenging mortgage market environment.
