Pros

Culture is fantastic, we have many company events and coming to work every day is challenging and exciting. Great income potential, with the commission based structure and the high quality leads you can control your income pretty well. As long as you embrace the sales methodology and buy in to the leadership you will do well here. I have been working here for over 3 years and my income has went up each year. They have great support with the operations department to help you grow and make sure if there is a way to get a loan closed they will find it.

Cons

Like any sales job there can be months were things get rough, but if you keep working hard you always end up winning.

Pros

There are limited pros working at Lower. Based on my experience, I would only recommend working here if you're new to the industry. Get licensed, learn the basics, and leave after a year.

Cons

If you have been in the industry for more than a year, you know products, you know guidelines, you know how to sell. That said, find a company with a comp plan that makes sense with a rate sheet that actually benefits the consumer. Ironically, rates at Lower at the Highest in the industry. You'll be asking borrowers to take on a 30-year-fixed -rate mortgage that's 50bps (or more) higher than the industry. On top of the higher pricing, you get paid a fraction of what other loan officers make. Instead of $20K/mo commissions, you'll be making $3K at best. The hourly rate is a recoverable draw so you're making $60K while other loan officers are making $200K+ per year. If that wasn't enough, your loans will sit in process FOREVER. No one knows what's going on. From VP to processor, there is zero communication. Loans will fallout left and right.
