Pros

If nothing else the illusion of job security seems to be a great place to start. These people have ALWAYS! had their heart in the right place and I am comfortable saying that in a given atmosphere where conditions play out as we are trained at Lowe's there would be nothing to complain about. Benefits, Good steady pay, opportunities to better yourself from within the ranks, friendship, working with the public. Programs for those in need. Honesty at least looking past store level. Concern for integrity all are "best" reasons to work for Lowe's.

Cons

Favoritism, 10 percent pay increase or minimum pay (whichever is higher) upon promotion and no wavering from that. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE management (at least at my location). Favoritism, off the street (hiring as a favor for a friend by a member of management especially Store Manager). Unrealistic deadlines, Hectic and crowded aisles (which really is a good thing just hectic). Rude disrespectful customers.

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.
