Pros

Weekends off. Well,We'll, almost every weekend....until they force you to work a Saturday.

Cons

Lower must have been named because of their lower standards for treating employees. Everyone above you is deceptive, condescending, manipulative, and abusive. Everyone you, as an employee, can go to and report or discuss this treatment is complicant and doesn't care. Nobody tells the truth, and the included to customers. Reading these reviews hits the nail right on the head of what it's like to work there. Soul and joy draining, stressful, and unfulfilling all while having terrible benefits and pay. Any positive review you read here is BS and is a fake review made by someone for compensation to keep the rating higher. It's amazing to see how fast the rating did drop, even with the bogus positive ratings. When I first started working there Lower had a 3.8 rating. At the time of this, it's 2.9. If you are planning on applying to work here; save your time, dignity, sanity, and health. Go work somewhere else.

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.
