Pros

Great co-workers Cool office space- if at smiths mill- if not you will be in call center atmosphere at Waltons office.

Cons

The 401k match program is very low really bad PTO policy- no sick days- this is very outdated- and doesn't promote work life balance. very outdated work from home program micromanaged to the extreme -is so out of control toxic work environment where your every move is reported

Pros

The people I met have become my closest friends.

Cons

The rest of the reviews capture it quite well. Lots of lies surrounding layoffs, favoritism, and overall lack of transparency regarding everything.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and we are so happy to hear that Lower brought you some of your closest friends! We continue to work on how we can be a transparent company for our employees, and with that improved the communication that is sent out to all employees. we have company broadcasts going out almost every day in addition to weekly operations and sales updates, as well as a monthly company All-Hands for the entire company. We also have a channel in Teams where we post almost daily updates.
