Pros

- A few good eggs - one in particular who vouched for me and took the time to help me excel - decent competitive compensation in this industry

Cons

- management only praise the strong and prey on the weak - a tale as old as time in sales unfortunately - systems are completely outdated and are too convoluted to even submit documents - please catch up with the rest of the industry - employees are treated as numbers not people by management, only small "send all" emails to show praises to someone that hardly cultivate any form of work culture

Thank you for your feedback. We hear that there has been pain points with some of the systems, which is why we are working hard on updating the programs we use to make the process more efficient not only for our employees, but it will improve the experience for our customers as well. We also currently have the kudos initiative in Workday that allows for anyone in the company to give a shoutout to someone who has done an exceptional job at demonstrating a core value. We also then share some of these kudos during our all hands to help recognize our employees who are making a strong impact with their fellow colleagues. We have been receiving positive feedback on these implementations, but we always encourage our employees to join one of our committees or send any concerns to our HR team if there are areas of concern or needing improvement.

Pros

Lower has made some hard decisions in the downturn of the market to come out successful and has positioned themselves to come out of this market slump as a market competitor. It's nice to work alongside people who are as hungry as you to see their company grow and succeed.

Cons

Benefits could be a little better.
