Pros
The main reason that chose to work at Lowes is because I enjoy shopping at the store. All of the employees are always helpful and the atmosphere is welcoming. At my interview I had one one question, "Will you be understanding and accomodating when it comes to my children and the school schedule?" I had turned down better jobs before that had answered this question "No;" Lowes said "Yes." I started as a temporary part-time employee in the spring, the busiest time of year. My first 90 days were great! I loved my job! I learned many new things and brought skills to the table that past employees did not have because of my education and training. It was a wonderful situation for both Lowes and I.
Cons
After my 90 day "temporary" status was up and I was offered a permenant posistion, things changed . Senior management began litterally yelling a the employees, including myself, without provocation. I was and still am appalled by this. No one deserves to be treated in such a manner. It continues to this day. The employees of the store that I am at make their first stop to the customer service desk so they can see who is on duty that day... it lets them know how there day will go. I have been searching for another job for months, but unfortunately I am unable to find one that is as flexable and understanding with my schedule as Lowes is, so I must take the good with the bad.
