Pros

• you will meet good coworkers and bond over how unrealistic your performance expectations are, constantly. • the (sales) office is nice and new. If you’re hired into operations you will be in the old, call center style office with no perks. • they hire people with no experience and college degree is optional so they give people chances (for now)

Cons

• PTO and sick combined for 10 days. You WILL NOT get paid out when you leave or they randomly reduce staffing. • 401k match exists simply so they can put in on their recruiting pitches. It’s not industry average and the vesting plan is awful. • health insurance is expensive • have a family? Plan on seeing them significantly less. Work life balance is unjustifiably bad. • you have a job that can be done entirely remote? See you in the office anyway because (culture). • equitable pay for the industry standard? Best they can do is a new t shirt. • do you like job stability? Not at Lower. Since investors have looked at their books they’ve been cutting staff like crazy. Nobody is safe. • micro is the only form of management you will receive. Nobody will care about your personal life or barrier to work. They will simply email you and push you to reach their made up performance indexes. • upper management is set and will not be going anywhere. When things are broken they will not be fixed because upper management is completely unwilling to admit their mistakes. • do NOT take or keep this job for the prospectus of IPO benefits. They don’t pay out PTO when you leave and they combine PTO/paternity/sick into one benefit. You think they’ll give you decent stock options? Lol

Pros

Your peers are very close.

Cons

Where to start? There are so many problematic things at this company. 1: They over promise and under deliver. I was told I would be promoted within 3-5 months and make $10,000 more within a year. Once I found out I made more than a team lead in my department and that my lead didn’t get a raise with her “promotion” I knew this was false. 2: The CEO read a negative Glassdoor review during a Friday Morning Meeting and gaslit everyone by stating “you KNOW this isn’t true.” 3: I was invited to a “promotion meeting” only to be told it was a meeting to try to get a group of us to do a sales job we already turned down. 4: The “benefits” at the main building could be referred to as discriminatory. The barber shop could not be used to do the hair of an African American woman that wears hair naturally and can only do trims for other women. They do not provide equivalent services and only cater to the men. (The OU frat comments are all true) I was lucky enough to find my way out to a new job. But on my last day before starting my new job HR sent out a zoom invite to over 30 people, didn’t wait for everyone to even be on the meeting before they started talking, and laid them off in a Zoom call that lasted less than 2 minutes. They also stated “we over shot our hiring and this is just another part of growth.” What was my last day became an afternoon of sobbing and phone calls for everyone in the office. If you’ve made it this far, be warned that Lower bribes employees to write good Glassdoor reviews, pays a few people to do it 90% of their work day and is not growing like they said and that they will throw you away at the drop of a hat.
