Pros

Pleasant work environment. Great place to work if you like helping people. Most customers are friendly and appreciate your assistance. Good benefits and advancement opportunities if motivated.

Cons

Long retail hours. Store opens at 6 am and closes at 10 pm. Most associates work 6a-3p or 2p-11p. Open 7 days/wk so schedule changes weekly. Only off one weekend per month.

Pros

Lowe's provides an excellent atmosphere that is fun, safe, and comfortable to work in. I was worried about not knowing where things were when a customer asked, but you can always look to a fellow employee to give you a hand....with anything! If you've never used powered equipment, that will change.

Cons

If you aren't full time, hours will get cut around Summer time. Having a heavy work-load and having to cover 1 or 2 other departments. When you put on the vest, the customer will assume that you know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING in the store while others will expect you to be in 2 places at once. It may seem tedious at times, but no matter how busy you are, you have to make it a habit to stop and ask EVERY customer (with a smile) if they could use your help for anything.
