| Wingspan Portfolio Advisors is a BOTTOM FEEDER that intentionally Fucks Over It's Own Employees for Profit (Cheating the IRS New Hire Tax Credits) and has the most Unethical and Ruthless Managers in the Dallas, Fort Worth Area. |
For one moment overlook the fancy website put up by Wingspan Portfolio Advisors and overlook all of the PAID sponsorships and advertising and "good publicity" they have paid handsomely for and consider this..
There are TONS of Mortgage Servicers. These companies pop up literally by the HUNDREDS every year. Many go out of business as the market is so concentrated. Wingspan Portfolio Advisors has managed to put a fancy spin on the same ole, same ole.
They do mortgage servicing....errr... Debt collection pretty much. Debt Collection is the majority of their business. They profit from the unfortunate circumstances of individuals and use tactics such as threats and phone harassment to force folks to pay. They are desperately trying to branch out into different fields. I think I even read on their site they are involved with insurance and something to do with the oil industry.
Let's be clear about something - These guys are superb liars. They will put anything on their website that they believe folks will bite the bullet on. Meaning people will believe their lies and bullshit and give them a call so that they can bullshit their way into a business arena they know NOTHING about.
Debt collection isn't hard. In difficult times, debt collectors are in demand. Wingspan Portfolio Advisors was created during one of the worst recessions of our nation's history. Their primary target during the recession was helping major banks handle their loan modifications and foreclosure handling overflow. Basically Wingspan Portfolio Advisors simply picked up the slack.
Yes, they made a little bit of money in the beginning. In the last four years, Wingspan was still a very small company with less than 100 employees. Actually, more like less than 30 employees. And they managed to snag a contract (not that major however) with Bank of America, who was desperate at the time to get help with their modifications and loan operations.
Bank of America has since CANNED Wingspan Portfolio Advisors and Wingspan had to suddenly lay off almost 500 people overnight. Everything at the company pretty much rested on that ONE CONTRACT.
So the minds at Wingspan desperately started to look for other areas they could make money. Nothing wrong with this, except I know many of the managers and VP's and they came to Wingspan Portfolio Advisors with NO EXPERIENCE in ANYTHING other than the "ART OF BULLSHITTING" their way into contracts.
Justin Belter, Melanie Pellegrino, Jason Dickard had NO experience in mortgages. Yet somehow overnight all of these jackasses are Senior Vice Presidents being paid to sell a company that is essentially a ONE TRICK PONY.
If you look at Wingspan Portfolio Advisor's website, they have a lot of fancy language written by an expert (which they are not) in various fields showing how they have the capacity to make money in various industries. Having the "capacity" to make money in various fields is not the same as having a "track record" of making money in various fields.
Wingspan Portfolio Advisors CEO Steve Horne was in a rush to paint his inexperienced, so-called VP's as being "Experienced Industry Men" that he must have pressured them or they felt the need themselves to LIE about all of their experience or lack thereof.
Justin Belter was a temporary associate and overnight he is a SVP? He had NO EXPERIENCE in ANYTHING.
Same for Melanie Pellegrino.
I think, however, Jason Dickard, had about as much mortgage experience as the black employees Wingspan Portfolio Advisors was starting off paying only $11 an hour with no benefits, yet Dickard is somehow suddenly Director, a few months later, he is VP, and another few months later he is EVP.
Wingspan Portfolio Advisors was evidently in a rush to build its inner core of people and didn't care too much if these individuals were experienced or not. Looks like being White was one of the main factors Steve was looking for as all of these (inexperienced, WHITE) individuals were suddenly promoted overnight even though many worked half as hard as the black associates. I also took issue with the callous and unethical way these so-called "VP"'s would hide behind the associates they managed when they could not answer questions or were confused about mortgage procedures, etc. letting their subordinates take the flack for their ineptitude.
I take issue with how these so-called "VP"'s would parade their inexperienced and entitled asses around Wingspan Portfolio Advisors as if they were special and terminate individuals on bullshit reasons who they felt threatened by because these people had more experience and more knowledge than they did.
I take issue with the underhanded and ruthless way Wingspan Portfolio Advisors told their team leads and managers to "stack the files" of every single black employee for any reason because the company was pulling in tax credits for all of us and after we worked hard for so many months they would fill the need to simply replace us as if we were NOTHING. All on LIES.
A team lead told me he was informed in a meeting to stack everyone's file. After that conversation, Wingspan suddenly started terminating people who worked their asses off while promoting friends and family. Our thank you was a pink slip and a fight with the unemployment office.
These guys not only fired hardworking employees because they were cheating the tax credit system, they were also abusing employees and mistreating employees. Managers Kevin Conn and David Payne would refuse work to employees and then turn around and terminate them for failing to turn in work.
The lies these guys told in those meetings were shocking. There are no ethics to these guys. They lack any sense of morality. They would set people up and that to me is what drives me everyday to let everyone know the type of people they are dealing with. I don't care how they smile and laugh, trust me, none of it is genuine. They get together in those back rooms and plot on how to fuck over their own employees.
I have never met managers that can look employees in the eye and tell straight up Bald Face lies with a straight face. These guys are so damn ruthless.
If they will lie to their employees, force their employees to lie to contractor clients, and lie to the Texas Workforce Commission and the IRS, and stack their linkedIn pages with all LIES about their experience - their is no telling what these guys will do.
So there you have it. In so many ways Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, who are essentially debt collectors (forget all those other lies on their website) is a crummy employer filled with entitled, privileged, cut throat and untrustworthy managers willing to do anything, say anything, hurt anyone - to keep their jobs and move ahead.
(White Men are so use to never having to be questioned by minorities, they have taken to lying effortlessly to Blacks and we bite the bullet each and every time. It's about time we open our eyes and stop being taken for fools.)
