It's like they are trying to get us to quit so they don't have to pay unemployment - Anonymous employee Lowe's Home Improvement Employee Review

Pros

It's easy work, doesn't take a lot of training or thinking to do the work

Cons

Minimal/ no amount of initial training. The new managerial staff are micromanagers and are bordering on osha level complaints from workers. They are requiring us to stay at our stations until the very last minute at the end of day making it so that we barely have enough time to put our stuff away, before being penalized for clocking out late. Not allowing employees to lean or sit on anything while we are waiting during lulls in workload. Hard work is only rewarded with more work while minimal effort is overlooked and oftentimes rewarded. You are only promoted if you spend more time kissing up to management than doing your work, with rare exceptions.

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.
