Pros

For the contact center, there (was) a ton of support for employees. Open door policy with management is very nice. They are making constant changes, but usually to improve.l both customer and employee experiences. Decent benefits. I loved my last position there as a Knowledge Support Professional, which doesn't exist anymore.

Cons

Some people have reported that learning all the systems Lowe's uses is difficult. It seems like more and more responsibilities are being added to assistant managers, to the point that I'm not sure they can realistically juggle them. My nearly 50 member team that was designed to support new hires with navigating said systems and policies and help with trend tracking and analysis was laid off. We were promised job security over and over again, and then with absolutely no warning, we all got a call one morning telling us to log off and not come back because Lowe's is "streamlining the business." I get the role being removed, but were there really no other positions to offer us? Point is, have a backup plan if you apply, no matter how long you've been there.

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.
