Is being a loan officer a high-stress job?

Loan officer work carries measurable pressure, though stress varies by employer and pay structure. In a federal occupational survey, 45% of loan officers reported time pressure every day, 84% reported constant contact with other people, and 51% reported a typical work week of more than 40 hours. Compensation based on commission on loans closed adds performance pressure for many loan officers.
