Pros

-high compensation for hard workers

Cons

-company spends thousands a month on pointless awards, and wonders why the company is going under -will hire you just to fire you at the end of training, because they hired too many people they couldn't afford -will change you hours with little to no notice -will cut company benefits, including insurance, instead cutting reckless spending on big flashy nonsense - not sure they'll make it to the end of the year

Lower Response

Lower recognizes it's high performers with monthly top producer awards. We believe recognizing high performers is important for a high performance culture. This past year was particularly difficult for the mortgage industry and Lower had to restructure departments due to the industry. However, insurance was not cut for any full-time team members.
