Workplace Observation
I am currently employed at JPMorgan Chase, one of the largest financial corporations in the world. I hold the position of Loss Mitigation Specialist and Lead (Assistant Supervisor) of the financial processing division. This division in the corporation handles all home loans that are in pre-foreclosure and our goal is to help our customers keep their homes. This saves our company money because we take a significant loss of foreclosed homes, as well as keeps our customers with us because they still have a home to sleep in at night. My department consists of approximately 75 employees. The organizational structure in the Loss Mitigation department is vertical. We have one manager, five supervisors, five leads, and about 65 loss mitigation specialists. Each supervisor is assigned one lead and about twelve specialists.

We work closely with the attorneys and sheriffs because it is those individuals whom will if worse comes to worse be kicking our customers out of their homes. This is not a pretty sight and there have been violent actions that have taken place during a physical eviction. Our attorney’s use laptop computers that can relay information back to the office about the property, such as the occupants inside, the property value, the quality of the property, and the condition of the land. Our primary means of communication to our customers is via telephone, but we also use fax, email, and written correspondence to attempt to work out payment arraignments on the properties. has an open door policy he encourages all departmental personnel to bring complex or personal issue to him if necessary. The Director, on the other hand is hard to get a hold of, let alone talk to. But for the most part I feel that the lines of communication are effective and used all the time. Our department is a very close group and we truly are like
