Pros

First thing to stand out if the energetic atmosphere here. I have fun at work and that makes it much easier to get up and head into the office every day. The training is great and extensive. I've had a lot of help in the first month as a Loan Advisor. this is the first company I've worked at that i can see myself being at in the next 5/10 years.

Cons

This is a young company and, in my opinion, changes are made more often than a more established company. I don't necessarily think this is a con, but it's something to realize. 401k match needs improvement, but again I expected it at a young company. There need to be more bathrooms.

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.
