Do Your Research Beyond Social Media - Operations Lower Employee Review

- Unfortunately, the cons far outweigh the pros in this case. There are a lot of issues going on within the company that are not disclosed to the employees from management, we usually found out about problems through the grapevine from our colleagues. - Mass hirings and mass firings within weeks of each other; Lower seems to preach growth, but when they run out of funds to pay those employees they are let go for not meeting "core values". This has nothing to do with it being a startup or growing pains, this is just unrealistic expectations not panning out. - CONSTANT micro-managing from the top down. Multiple instances where people's jobs were threatened if they did not "meet their numbers". Trust your employees to be able to do their jobs. - Unrealistic expectations of operations employees with the quality of loans being brought in. There were too many times when job descriptions for operations employees changed to add responsibilities from the sales and closing departments. Incredibly inconsistent expectations from one department to the next. - Overworked. I am not naive enough to think that this industry is ever easy or smooth sailing, but recognize when your employees are legitimately burnt out. Makes it impossible to have a work life balance. - This company is far too concerned about their public reputation, and far less concerned about the well-being of their employees. Ever since they bought the naming rights to the soccer stadium and took on a massive investor, it became all about quantity over quality. - Not enough training when promoted to a much more challenging role.
