Supreme Lending employees gathered for lunch in 2017 to celebrate the month's closings.

Nearly 3,000 companies were nominated or asked to participate in the 2020 Top Workplaces contest by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and its partner, Energage. Employees across the metro area responded to print and online solicitations that began appearing in September. 

Using survey results, a list of 150 workplaces was compiled, consisting of 22 large companies (500 or more employees), 63 midsize companies (150-499 employees) and 65 small companies (149 or fewer employees). 

Here’s what employees had to say about Supreme Lending:

“My co-workers are amazing. They’re kind, supportive and truly invested in each other.”

“My manager trusts me and does not micromanage me.”

“Everyone I work with cares about what they do, and we all try to take care of each other. Everyone from team members to management works to make Supreme Southeast a great place to work and the best in the industry.”

“I am a part of something meaningful.”

“Everyone is committed to the same vision and mission.”

“I can be who I am and who God created me to be. All that is asked is for us to strive to achieve our personal and professional best.”

“I enjoy my job and all the people I work with.”

“I feel like I make a difference in our customers’ lives every day by helping them get into their homes quickly and easily.”

“I get to be a part of what for most people is one of the biggest milestones in their lives and still have the flexibility to enjoy my own life outside of work.”

“I get to encourage, train and grow our people every day.”

“I get to work with seasoned professionals who truly care about our clients, referral partners and all associates.”

“I have been given every opportunity and resource to become my personal and professional best. Though I am constantly recruited by other mortgage companies, I have zero desire to ever leave this company. I feel like I work with the brightest and best people in the industry. They are more than colleagues. They are my family.”

“I am affirmed regularly for excellent work by not only my managers but also my colleagues.”

“I am allowed to work with a great team that steps in when needed to assist to resolve issues at hand.”

“I am challenged daily to become better and have the opportunity to help lead the best organization.”

“I have more confidence in our leader, Pat Flood, than the president of the U.S. He continues to be ahead of the other mortgage companies as they all look to follow what he is doing and try to imitate it. This is my first full year in sales, and I have already made more money than I ever thought I would make simply by running Pat’s playbook.”

“I have the team to effectively perform my job.”

“I learn something new every day.”

“I have the ability to make the world a better place alongside my co-workers.”

“I work from home, and I work hard. But it is worth it in the long run. I am treated as part of the family with Supreme Lending. I love my job and the people I work with.”

“Most companies would not allow me to work from home, not to mention hire me when I was pregnant, so I feel extremely fortunate to even be here. You can feel the energy as soon as you walk in and instantly feel a sense of calmness.”

“The positive environment constantly allows me to grow. My position may be the same, but my growth changes year after year.”

“SSE allows me to be my best and do my best.”

“The leader fosters a mindset that is different than any other employer.”

“They are strong into family, and it shows. If you are too busy, management steps in immediately to help you get past any obstacles.”

“I have the best manager.”

“I am finally being taught and am seeing what it means to be a part of a professional and personal family. I have never felt more motivated or inspired than I have been when I hear Pat Flood and Dr. Reighard speak, especially Pat. I am motivated to be better all-around in my personal and professional life … I have entered the light after wandering aimlessly in darkness for so, so long.”
