Pros
Good direction from corporate leadership, innovative thinking, and good benefits package. Lowes does try, at least at the corporate level, to provide a very safe and pleasant work environment. The workers they hire are mostly with the program which makes for less workplace tension.
Cons
Programs are in place to improve store ops and they are mostly good. Corporate needs to do better at ensuring store management properly implements them in a positive manner, and the Lowes philosophy needs to trickle from the top down. Some stores have very poor morale because of store management staff. At the district level they need to find a way to make sure all stores are fairly evaluating and promoting employees based on merit. Running great numbers, but having very poor people skills, begs the question; have much better could we be doing if our people were treated better.
