Billed as the nation's sixth largest mortgage lender, Cendant employs over 4,100 people in the township, and a few hundred more across the country. Cendant is the top employer in a township that is better known for the high-tech businesses it has drawn here, like Okidata. It's part of a well-established business community comprised of 12 commercial districts in the township. The town's proximity to Interstate 295, the New Jersey Turnpike and Routes 73 and 38, have made it a coveted spot for expanding businesses.
None are larger than Cendant, however, the third largest employer in the tri-county region, in fact.
Officials expect to hire up to 300 people over the next six months to handle increased volume. Cendant provides mortgage services for major financial institutions such as Mellon Bank, Hudson United Bank, and U.S. Bank. The relaxed attire of Cendant employees is part of an overall philosophy, to keep workers happy and boost morale, said President and CEO Terence W. Edwards. And if new hires lack experience, there's a training program to bring them up to speed. Films has been located here on Fellowship Road since 1979.
