Pros

I have been employed with Lower (HQ) for 5 years now. My first job staright out of college. I have the opportunity to advance and move into many positions here. My favorite part about working here is the people! I always tell people that what makes Lower, 'Lower' is the people who work here and how likeminded everyone is. Such an amazing culture surrounded by a group of people that want growth for themselves and the company. Also the willingness of care that comes with it. Lower also has a set growth path for the Sales team. If you put in the work, you will be rewarded; it's pretty simple. A lot of oppurtunity to have your voice heard and it's actually encouraged. Many different councils you can be on. Heavily discounted healthcare incentive.

Cons

The industy is pretty volatile right now. 401k match could be better.

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.
