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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We pride ourselves on being a place where our employees enjoy coming to work because they love the people they work with! 2023 was a tough year for many companies and Lower is grateful that we did not do a lot of layoffs like you mentioned. In fact, we are continuing to watch our company grow as we just went through an acquisition of Thrive Mortgage.
