Pros

Lowe's is a pretty good place to work overall. I respect my management chain. Lowe's is a pretty solid company and I am not afraid of layoffs as I might be in some of the other companies around the Charlotte area. They have a decent medical plan, and a pretty good 401k option. They are usually pretty laid back when it comes to your working hours as long as your work is completed. They will work with you if you need to work an alternate schedule or need to take some time off during the week for a medical/dental appointment etc.

Cons

Lowe's starting salary can be a bit lower than some of the other area employers (but you need to weigh that with the fact that Lowe's has not had a layoff in a very long time (if ever)). Also raises seem to be relatively low, don't expect to move up in salary very quickly. 2 weeks vacation to start is pretty much non-negotiable. They have only about 6 paid holidays per year and you will probably need to work a couple of them to support the stores which are open 364 days a year (Only closed Christmas and Thanksgiving I believe).

Pros

If you want to be lazy it's perfect 👌

Cons

This is the worst company I have EVER worked for, the worst I've ever been treated by an employer. So bad it caused me to be suicidal. The managers are incompetent. They are not leaders, they do not care about your wellbeing, just what they can get out of you. If you don't get credit cards you get yelled at. I'm seen so many employees just walk out because of that reason alone. I begged for full time, never gave it to me, but still give it to new hires. Which caused my kids and I to have no health insurance. Constantly changing my schedule. Which causes you to never be able to make any plans, or have a life. Denied my leave of absence for surgery as I'm literally laying in bed waiting to get surgery. Which was still dinged as a call out. Eventually leading me to a final, to finally get fired from the hell hole that is Lowes. I was smiling getting fired, walked out the door and felt so much relief. Lowes blows.
