Pros

I say it every time- the PEOPLE are what make Lower what it is. It truly has that tight-knit family feel. I love going to work every day and seeing my coworkers and being a part of a high-energy work atmosphere. I love what I do and being able to represent a company that values their employees with the proper tools and best practices. I have grown both personally and professional ever since I started a little over 2 years ago and I can't wait to see what the future holds with this company and my career! It's an exciting place to be and a fun, high-energy company to be a part of. If you're a hard worker who has a go-getter mentality and want to push yourself to your maximum potential.. this place is for you!

Cons

401K match, but I think that will get better as we grow as a company.

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.
