Pros
This was an industry change for me. I've been in sales, corporate and service, for over a decade. Becoming a loan officer is daunting but Lower has one of the best training programs to prepare for the national exam and pass easily. My manager has been an amazing support who creates a space to understand regulations while still hyping up the team with competitions and data to hit metrics that ultimately builds our bank. It's sales, you're either all in or not with it. I haven't been here too long, but there is a clear set path for career growth and upward trajectory in our department, and that means a lot for me personally.
Cons
Be ready to multi-task and be organized on a different level. I'm good with that, but I see others who can struggle with it. Oh, I wish there was a beverage vending machine.
