Pros

Lowe's offers good benefits to employees including medical, dental, and vision. They also offer 401k match program and discount on employee stock purchases through payroll deduction. They offer sales specialists the opportunity to increase income by offering commissions on sales and monthly bonuses. Managers are supportive of employee needs and offer guidance and encouragement to aid in employee success.

Cons

The only con I can think of is the flexible work schedule. Although you know when your days off are through the corporate rotation of days off, the hours are wacky and it's hard to get used to. You might work all opens one week, with a close for good measure and then the next week, you work all mids and closes. Your body has a hard time adjusting and even after 5 years, I am not used to it.

Pros

If you need to do home improvement the discounts are nice. Thats about it.

Cons

Management is incompetent. Employees are not treated equally. Never praised for hard work nor are issues adressed or followed up on in a timely manner. Training is lacking the modules they use to train associates and even the classes to train managers are useless and are rarely if ever utilized in day to day business.

Pros

Benefits, treated fairly if you are in the "clique," good employee discounts during the holidays. nice price markdowns if managers like you.

Cons

Favoritism to employees that enjoy "tattle-telling" All policies are not enforced the same with various employees. Store manager will only speak to "favorites." If you are not a "fav" he will not even acknowledge your name.
