Pros

Lowe's is great if you need a job that'll give you rudimentary levels of experience, and provide you with some money for college or whatever. Typically, the stores stay in a constant state of flux, and it's rare that the same people will be there year in and year out.

Cons

Management in general have no idea how to run a store. There are so many different directives that come from so many different places, it's hard to get everything under control and put forth the best effort. One manager will give you a task, then another manager will come to you 10 minutes later to give you another task, and then a third manager would come along 10 minutes later with another task, and so on. Even if you're extremely efficient at your job, it's very difficult to accomplish things when there are no clear directions.

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.
