Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your contributions during your time with Lower. We're pleased to hear that you find our work environment positive and feel our compensation is competitive. We also appreciate your candid feedback regarding transparency and communication from management. Creating an environment where employees feel informed, heard, and supported is important to us, and we recognize there is always room to improve. This is why we do the Voices of Employee surveys so that we can take feedback from employees and look for continuous improvement otherwise and create action plans.

Pros

- fast paced work environment - work with some cool people and make good friendships - happy hours and lunches were nice

Cons

***- FAKE 5-star REVIEWS, if you are scrolling their reviews, pay attention to the dates of the reviews March 20th, they have 11 5-star reviews on March 20th because the recruiter and managers told employees to leave good reviews after all the bad reviews they were getting (I know this for a fact because I witnessed it) - commission only, draw pay is very low hourly rate and his heavily taxed, overtime is allowed but you cannot get paid for anything over 40 hrs - bad management, name calling, ignoring questions, disapprove feedback and ideas - bring in 20 batch hires every 2 weeks and hope they stay (they don't) - loud sales floor, open concept with no privacy, music blasting all day, customers would complain - bad leads, you could be calling the same lead 5x a day, expected to make 350-400 cold calls - processing takes forever, they are short staffed, you could be planning to close 5-6 loans a month and only have 1 go through = you make no money and get draw - phone is not provided only a laptop, they ask you to use your own personal phone for calls and texts - you will never hear a word from CEO Dan, he never addresses team or talks to staff, 'leadership' from him is nonexistent - management plays favorites to "senior advisors" who get more commission, better leads, and can work from home - use of PIPs is direct path to being let go, never saw anyone get out of it - processes change every day, consistency is lacking - expected to work and schedule calls after hours

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the relationships you built with colleagues and appreciated some of the team events and company-sponsored activities. The Loan Advisor role is a sales position that provides great upside potential with our average Loan Advisors earning $90k in their second year. As team members progress in their careers, they’re rewarded with increased commissions, more opportunities and greater flexibility. We take feedback regarding leadership and the employee experience seriously. We encourage employees to share feedback through their leaders, Human Resources, or other available channels so concerns can be addressed and improvements can be made. We remain committed to fostering a respectful and supportive workplace.

Pros

There are limited pros working at Lower. Based on my experience, I would only recommend working here if you're new to the industry. Get licensed, learn the basics, and leave after a year.

Cons

If you have been in the industry for more than a year, you know products, you know guidelines, you know how to sell. That said, find a company with a comp plan that makes sense with a rate sheet that actually benefits the consumer. Ironically, rates at Lower at the Highest in the industry. You'll be asking borrowers to take on a 30-year-fixed -rate mortgage that's 50bps (or more) higher than the industry. On top of the higher pricing, you get paid a fraction of what other loan officers make. Instead of $20K/mo commissions, you'll be making $3K at best. The hourly rate is a recoverable draw so you're making $60K while other loan officers are making $200K+ per year. If that wasn't enough, your loans will sit in process FOREVER. No one knows what's going on. From VP to processor, there is zero communication. Loans will fallout left and right.
