In the world of Fair Lending laws, there are potential negative consequences and risks associated with AI and Guaranteed Rate using it with Gateless. For example, AI systems can be biased and discriminatory, and they can and will make mistakes... — read more 

After Victor Ciradelli purchased Gateless to automate just about every position with artificial intelligence, no job there is safe. Makes you wonder when the CPFB will get triggered for them violating fair lending as AI does not know how to work with... — read more 

They did another big layoff of really long term closers who worked for guaranteed rate for many years on November 1, 2022. Of course they kept them all to close loans on the last day of the month (which was also a holiday) and let them go that... — read more 

We were all on our edges of our seats but the inevitable happened again. More layoffs for the ops teams. I was laid off today as a front end mortgage processor. My backend processor colleague was laid off too. It’s never ending.

We lost 39 closers last week, October 7, 2022. We are a small handful left and overworked and underpaid

Another small round of lay-offs this Thursday. (Approx 8 people) Pipelines are dry and Gateless is being piloted to do most of our work for us. More downsizing anticipated.

It was a sl------r. Something between 50-90 people were let go. Leadership is terrible. I would if I were someone who was currently there.

Don't think you're safe just because the last substantial round missed you. They've been laying off people consistently since the start of the year and I don't see it stopping any time soon. I don't think that any one of us can consider himself or... — read more

The pipeline is dry.

How many weeks of severance were given to people who were laid off?

Is there a possibility of more sometime today or tomorrow?

GR is laying off more divisions that were part of Stearns Wholesale. Most of the Jumbo team was laid off on Tuesday 2/1/2022. Beware! They have a reputation for hiring up when volume is good but quick to lay-off when volume drops.

GRA will build their workforce up when volume is there and cut you faster than they hired you! Okay place to work, they preach family culture but don't be fooled. You are a number and they are a machine. Also get as much money upfront, because they... — read more 

A few people are getting laid off in Chicago, both work from home and in person employees. Right now only 4, but maybe more.

Last year about 30 people were let go back in April. I was one of them. This was affecting Chicago location but I think the overall cut by Guaranteed Rate at that time exceeded 200 people. Now, the company has about 4,000 employees so 200 is a lot -... — read more 

I know people are not reporting but there are more layoffs now. And we expected this. Good luck!

Layoffs, RIFs abound – be careful with GR, they are shrinking now (I left last year) Glassdoor reviews are managed, so you can disregard this – it’s overengineered by HR they keep it above average and will give you a swekewed picture about GR – read... — read more 

Given the industry turmoil, do you expect that more layoffs will be coming to Guaranteed Rate any time soon? Just look at the competition, everyone has massive layoffs right now?

This is nationwide and it's 100% true. 180 employees will be laid off, we have about 3000 employed so 180 is a lot - I hope they do not do it ever again
