Pros

Great benefits & great people. I love all the people I work with. I am currently looking to get promoted. I look forward to it, but I might have to go to another store. The senior Manager's are fair across the board and work well as a team. It's hard to write review's for the company, because no one is actually writing for the company, they are writing for their store. The review will be bad if you work for a bad Manager, and yes we all have one. The company is a great company to work for. i am proud to work for Lowe's. It is much better than Home Depot and we also get an employee discount. The health benefits are great, and we are offered many options for whatever help we need. Lowe's offers legal services, massage, and therapy for mental health! i have looked for another job many times and so far haven't had any luck finding a better company. I decided to put my efforts into getting promoted instead. I don't want to be the bad manager that no one wants to work for/with. Making a store great starts with all of us. The company is already great.

Cons

Long hours & mean customer's. People can be nasty at any workplace. I wish customers would treat employees the way they want to be treated at their place of employment! I also really hate when other co-workers are negative and complain. It just brings everyone else down. It is part of Lowe's culture to support team work, but everyone has to be on board or it doesn't work. I do however think that Management is slightly underpaid.

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
