Pros

A lot of opportunity to make money and a lot of potential to move up the ladder or switch departments if what your doing isn't for you. Good Pay - A base plus commission gives you the opportunity to have some big paychecks Very Supportive team members - I can go to anyone and ask for help or Advice Great Environment - Drama free and plenty of fun opportunities for employees such as going to Crew games at Lower.com, Having Coffee and Donuts with the owner of the company and fundraiser golf tournaments. Management also makes you feel valued which is huge for me. I've quit jobs in the past because I didn't feel like I was cared about or appreciated for the hard work that I provided. That is not the case at Lower.

Cons

Work/ Life balance can be an issue. This job is truly what you make of it. You can work 9-6 and close loans but if you really want to make money and build up your clientele you need to be available off the clock as well.

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.
