Pros

- Open-minded - Forward Thinking - Genuinely cares about their employees and their professional development - Proactive in bettering internal operations day-to-day - Management is down-to-earth and relatable - Performance is recognized and rewarded quickly through promotion - Compensation structure is vastly better than the industry leaders - I have not crossed paths with anybody that dislikes their job (everybody is happy and that means a lot)

Cons

- You start at the bottom to develop your skills; some view it as a negative, some know it's actually positive. You cannot become the best overnight. You HAVE to have a work ethic and internal drive to succeed. - 401k match could be better, but it's a smaller company with limited resources and pretty good when taking that into account - PTO policy leaves some to be desired but they give you more than the industry average to make up for it. Take your wins with your losses there.

You listed everything we pride ourselves on and continue to strive for. Thanks for the positive review! Unfortunately, the limited space makes it difficult to have both a Ping Pong Table and Pool Table. We agree a gym would be cool.... maybe one day!

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.
