Pros

Nothing redeeming in regards to this company.

Cons

Lower is a pretentious company. No concern for its employees, only how they look on social media. If you are lured by the misguided onboarding team-you’ll soon realize they embellish promotion opportunities, give you bonus structures that are not within reach, and if you’re early on at Lower, don’t be surprised when lay-offs come around! New hires are first to go. Clueless management, avoid Lower.com.

Pros

Lower paid for my licensing. Met some great people.

Cons

Pull up a chair and get comfortable. Unless you’re sitting in the office at Smiths Mill, I’m sure your AVP will be walking up to ask you about an update for an application you took on a borrower with a 574 credit score and no assets. Be sure to send them to ASR! So yes, first con is micro managing. It got much worse as time went on. Waiting over 2 hours for your phone to ring so you can take an app is super exciting. And then being questioned about why you’re not taking leads is even more exciting! The draw for commission should be illegal. At least that’s how it feels. Yes, we understand how the non-recoverable draw works. But just because you’ve gotten really good at explaining it, it doesn’t make it right. It’s terrible. Absolute hot garbage. Sure, young adults straight out of college will buy into your cool hip culture where you see the same 5 people on the lower Instagram everyday. But at the end of the day this company is just lying to you. That’s why I’ve seen AVP’s leave and multiple seniors leave. We need money. And everyone who has left is automatically making more money. If you’re reading this and on the edge. YOU NEED TO LEAVE *tik tok sound* Operations and Sales hate each other basically. It’s not sales fault when you haven’t sent closing instructions to title 24 hours before closing. Or maybe it is Sales fault, I mean we do have to get into sooo much back end at Lower. No worries, your managers will make that seem like a normal thing in the industry. CoughcoughITSNOTcough There’s some cocky people that walk around the sales floor and it doesn’t make sense. Like I see what you drove into the parking lot today, you’re not pushin P and you’re barely pushin 50k per year. The candy at the front desk is BAD. Yea, the innocent front desk lady is not getting out of this review unscathed. Can’t wait for the HR person to respond to this email about things they’ve never experienced

Pros

-a decent pay for an SDR position -dental -lax dress code

Cons

-the culture is reminiscent of a pyramid scheme -they lie about "potential for growth and upward movement in the company" -management is never direct or honest -bonuses are "recognition" and "pizza parties" -very difficult to have someone listen to you, even harder to get help -sales expectations don't make sense -compensation plan is a scam -a lot (a LOT) of people in higher positions are inept at their actual responsibilities
