Argent was supposed to be different and as wholesale most of the dirty work was left to outside brokers. We both got introduced to Flex and I got introduced to bloated, over-engineered, overstaffed, less than optimized development which is known as "enterprise" software development. So we will take the good with the bad. A dios Ameriquest! John commented to me before we both started at Argent that he wondered how Ameriquest leadership wasn't already in jail.
