Pros

They have benefits and the pay is actually amazing and very good for a cashier position. Started at $12/hr and went to $14 in less than a year. Managers are friendly, and relaxed about conversing with other cashiers. They make it clear what your goals are and meet with you to help you reach them.

Cons

Head cashiers are on their phones often, and seem to go through mood swings constantly. Head cashiers talk to cashiers about other cashiers behind their backs and its unprofessional. If you report something to HR about a manger, they investigate, but nothing ever happens except a slap on the wrist. The managers don't take illness seriously. And if someone calls out you hear them complaining that they think they are faking to other employees. I have been taken to the emergency room in the middle of my shift and I've heard afterwards that they thought I was being dramatic.

Pros

I had learned so much about plants during my time in the live nursery and working with third party companies in taking care of and treating these plants. we were always checked on made sure we weren't exhausted or too hot there are plenty of benefits at working at lowes even in seasonal.

Cons

although there were hiccups in communication that resulted in confusion and some messing with others out of spite, the heat could get intense and in turn attitudes are on the rise

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.
