I was a contractor with my previous employer and they were a contractor for another company which led to me getting laid off.

Compared to other companies you have worked for, what makes Mr. Cooper unique?
I love the fact that we can earn commissions on every paycheck instead of once a month. Mr. Cooper also takes care of their employees.
