I have worked for InterLinc for over 6 years now, and I feel like I love my job more and more each year. I have learned so much from everyone I work with. I really love that we work together as a team and we learn from each other. I love that every year we have our Annual Rally and are able to see everyone we work with face-to-face. Being a remote employee can sometimes make you feel isolated and not a part of anything, but I feel like this company goes out of its way to make everyone feel included and important. I look forward to many more years with this company.

InterLinc is the place to work because it is more than just work, it's family. What we do is important to people and helps them with one of the largest financial decisions they will make in their lives. To be able to help people with this and provide them with piece of mind is very rewarding in itself, but when you get to do it at a company that believes that its employees are the most important asset and empowers people to make decisions and collaborate to get things done accurately and efficiently, you have a recipe for an outstanding work environment! InterLinc is simply a great company that is made of great people and I am proud to say I am part of it!

I absolutely love the leadership and culture InterLinc provides to the employees. The energy brought to the table by upper management is unmeasurable and carries over to the employees and they know how to incorporate just the right amount of fun. I credit my growth at InterLinc to the excellent support and leadership I receive from senior management. They share with us what we “need” to hear not what we “want” to hear. They care about their employees and this makes all the difference in how an individual feels.

What I love most about working at InterLinc is that everyone is like family. I always tell people when they ask about our company that it’s one big family, whether local or in another state. When I first joined InterLinc in April 2015, I had no mortgage experience whatsoever. I started off handling the intake and uploading of our closing packages in the Post Closing department and now I’m the manager of the Post Closing department. There is always an opportunity to learn and grow here at InterLinc, which is such a blessing. No better place to work!
