Pros

Lower is an amazing place to work, grow, and be successful!! Management has poured into me and put me into positions to succeed. They have given me clear guidance and resources to learn the mortgage industry and develop my sales abilities. The atmosphere of the company is extremely positive and is centered around development and growth. If you have a desire to be challenged and advance your career, then Lower is definitely the right place to do it!

Cons

You get out what you put in. It is not a con, but you must be a self-starter

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.
