Pros

People Benefits 2 weeks vacation Sick days Free food sometimes?

Cons

If you are a good employee strap in to be ridden into the ground with long hours, unexpected walk outs, and no coverage. May God help you if you walk into a Sunday with "just enough" coverage. Be prepared to cover 2 or 3 departments. If you are competent they will see this and abuse it. They will pass you over for promotion then promise you a better tomorrow which never comes. Department supervisors are no where to be seen. Having the power over the schedule, which they will deny even though they collude to make sure they never have to close. When asked what problems to fix they tell you not to talk about the under staffed building. When they actually post jobs, they cut hours. On top of all this while you're doing the work of 3 people they expect you to find time to do their assinin training that 90% of the time doesn't even apply to your department. Along with this the front end is a disaster. Most of the new selling systems are heaped on them with zero training with the head cashiers scrambling to understand the new system of the month. I would describe my time at lowes as a slow ascent into an unmitigated nightmare.

Pros

Remote, great starting pay for entry level remote. Team environment was the best part of the experience.

Cons

Very limited to no advancement opportunities with pay increases that don't even match cost of living increases. No HR support and the culture reflects that... not a company that has any flexibility in the way employees are handled when they make a mistake it stacks and is not removes for a year. If you have three mistakes even if they are in totally different areas they will terminate even tenured employees with otherwise perfect records. Not a way to keep good employees.
