Employee Reviews

“Being part of the Balboa Nation has been great. While challenging, Balboa gives the support necessary to be successful. Balboa is an innovator, ahead of the curve with creative programs, simple documentation, competitive rates, etc. And Balboa’s technology, second to none, is a real differentiator in the market. The combination of support and technology gives a competitive edge in the market.”

– Galen Busse, Regional Manager

“Balboa Capital has good programs, competitive rates, and comprehensive reporting and transparency for our equipment vendor partners. In addition, our vendor partners have full access to our sales team on transactions, so the information and help they need is always just a call or email away. We have state-of-the-art systems, top-notch IT support, an excellent marketing team, and support from all departments – credit, operations, portfolio management, and customer service. There are no multi-layers of management at Balboa Capital. You have access to top-level managers as needed when you need to move a project forward on time. Lastly, Balboa Capital makes its employees feel valued, and it provides good communication about the company and its programs through Town Hall meetings, team calls, and ongoing training.”

– Jerry Harne, Regional Manager

“I’ve been in the equipment financing industry for over two decades. I’ve worked for similar companies like Balboa and with some rather large companies/banks in that period. I can say without hesitation that Balboa Capital is by far the most entrepreneurial company I have ever worked for. You hear that cliché “we look for ways to say yes,” and most of the time, it’s just talking. Not at Balboa. I learned this during the first 30 days that I started working here. It comes down to our culture and the individuals that oversee our vendor division. Our front-end technology is second to none and as cutting-edge as you’ll find anywhere. We back it up with Portal360, quick approvals, e‐signature documents, etc. I’m fortunate to have decided to come work here, and, to be honest, I never thought seven years later I would still be here. Balboa Capital is a great company that I would recommend to anyone looking for a new opportunity.”

– Ernest Leal, Regional Sales Manager

“We hear it all the time; it’s the people that make the company. Teamwork. Going the extra mile. Here’s the thing. It holds true at Balboa Capital. The competitive advantage that sets us apart in the markets we serve is our people. We share the same goals and look for ways to achieve the desired outcome(s). The people I work with are united in delivering the best experience not only for our customers but also for me. We’re not perfect; we make mistakes. But it’s how those mistakes are handled that makes the difference. We rebound quickly and efficiently. We desire to succeed, and we follow through on our commitments. We make mental notes of how to do things better next time and apply the lessons learned. We’re actively involved in moving things to the next level. We are relevant to our customers/partners; we make their experience a positive one.”

– Kathy Farrell, Program Manager, Strategic Accounts

“I dreaded going to work every day at my last company, and that was no fun. So making a switch to Balboa Capital was one of the best decisions. I have now been here for a total of five years. My goal is to make Balboa the place I retire from. I look forward to getting up each day and working. I have had the opportunity to work with some great people at all company levels. Associates are knowledgeable, humble, and always willing to assist. It feels more like a family than anything else. The involvement shown by upper management is amazing. They truly want you to succeed and supply each of us with the tools we need to make that happen. This becomes a win/win situation for everyone.”

– Lisa Gargiulo, Program Manager, Strategic Accounts

“As a 20-plus year industry veteran, I have worked for a handful of companies, some large, some small, some bank-owned, and some independent. I kid you not; Balboa Capital can keep pace with them all, if not run circles around the others. I have never been able to process a deal from application submission to funding as fast as I can here at Balboa. Vendors are blown away by the turnaround time in which we operate. While other lenders are looking for a home for their deals, we not only approve them but send documents, too. So if you have a book of business and need a home to keep your book in top shape while continuing to build it, Balboa Capital is a great fit.”

– Bob Shafer, Regional Manager

“I am thankful to be able to say that I enjoy working at Balboa Capital in their sales division. It is refreshing to say that, especially after being in the leasing industry for over 18 years. That experience includes being a part of three national leasing companies. And now that includes over six years of experience with Balboa. Technology plays a large role in helping my sales effort. Fast credit scoring helps, too. We can pull personal credit and not have the inquiry reflected on the owner’s credit until we fund the transaction. Most of our competitors cannot provide that benefit. E-signature docs speed up the transaction and make the process easy. Portal360™ allows for fast application entry. It provides real-time reporting of each transaction to my vendor sales reps. Along with aging reports which enable repeat sales. Corporate management skill level is essential to me. Balboa managers can help to ‘move the rock’ if there is an obstacle. The response will not always be a ‘yes.’ But a quick answer allows me to focus on selling. I like the ability to tap into the management level and the other sales pros who work at Balboa. We are all accessible and pull in the same direction.”
