Pros
Decent benefits overall but very high deductible plans for health care. Good team spirit at my branch and managers overall are good and appreciate the staff.
Cons
Has "winning together" bonus paid quarterly but is very difficult to hit and have only have received this three times in two and a half years and two of those times the CEO awarded it without the branch making it. Decent starting salary but future pay raises, even with "exceeds expectations" performance review does not keep up with inflation. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics the previous year CPI (Consumer Price Index) was 2.8% and my raise for the next 6 months was 1.48%. If I got the same raise again in six months then my overall annual salary rate increase will be effectively 2.23%. So, not enough to cover the the rate of inflation (even with glowing reviews of "exceeds expectations" and numerous other service awards and accolades).. I can only surmise that Lowe's, like other retail organizations, wish to have good turnover of the staff to keep overall expenses low and so does not award pay raises commensurate with performance and inflation.
