Pros

Once upon of time, Lower was a great place to work. Great coworkers, great pay, all around great vibes!

Cons

Lower has fired so many people that there’s no continuity anymore. When you have upper management leaving one by one, it should tell you something. Employees are simply a number, you know your opinions don’t matter unless you’re a top producer or have been with the company for 40 years. They make halfass attempts to boost morale by giving crew tickets and free lunch sometimes, instead of increasing benefits. How can you not tell that we’re unhappy? Do you not notice the lack of motivation in morning meetings? Do you not notice the lack of effort put forth throughout the workday? Do you not notice the lack of turnout for company events? I think you do notice but don’t care as long as you continue to keep the overhead low.

Pros

This job could be what you make of it because it is sales based and if you work hard you could potentially make a lot of money. There was a mix of WFH and in-office days. For the first 30-60 days you have a lot of training and help to succeed in getting the proper licensing.

Cons

Sadly it felt like you were thrown into the deep end after the first 60 days and left to sink or swim on your own. Incredibly high-stress environment while dealing with large financial decisions with clients. The Columbia office was also not very diverse, which definitely affected the working atmosphere.

Pros

Casual work environment - jeans, sandles, shorts, whatever. That’s pretty much it.

Cons

Poor management. Upper management all works entirely remotely and never goes into the office to support their staff. More and more work keeps getting piled upon those who work in office until they reach their breaking point and don’t care anymore. Extremely low pay for the amount of work foisted upon you. Claim they don’t have money to provide staff any raises, but hire 20 new people. Little to no room for growth within the company. Basically a dead-end job.

I encourage you to reach out to HR. We value your feedback and would like to discuss solutions to your concerns. Adding new headcount provides growth opportunities for multiple departments. HR would be happy to review what those opportunities are for you and your career.
