I joined Bayview in March of 2004, recruited by a colleague. The things that attracted me to Bayview were the opportunity for advancement and the work-life balance. That last point is very important to point out because it's not prevalent in today's business environment. It's not written but there is an understanding here that you have the right to take time off for personal things; however it's understood that you will make that time up either before or after. There are no questions, it's just understood and people respect that. It's not something they abuse. I think people realize that it's a huge benefit. There is no other company like Bayview that can compete with its corporate culture. I like the business and the people. I have a lot of exposure to upper management and like the opportunities that affords me. If there is one thing that can best define Bayview is execution, we can move on a dime. Identifying opportunities and acting upon them quickly and resolutely. It's been challenging yet I have learned a lot about the industry and how the business is run which I probably wouldn't have achieved in a similar position elsewhere. When I compare it to other companies that I have worked for, it's light years ahead, others were highly politicized. Bayview provides the necessary support to achieve things. In addition there's simply not as much bureaucracy here. |
