Pros

They pay fairly well for entry-level, they give decent raises, there are some upper-level jobs that are worth having. Also, you learn about home improvement, which saved me money when I had the knowledge and resources to do my own projects.

Cons

Management says that they're fair about who gets jobs, but they will lie to you about your chances of getting a particular job, or pick someone without considering your application at all. The company wants to be WalMart instead of the local hardware store, which makes it impersonal and hard to perform as well as you could, as you have very little support in going above and beyond in helping customers.

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.
