Pros

Potential to make decent $$$ with SOS commissions/spiffs. Good benefit package available for full or part time. Keep a low profile & managers leave you alone.

Cons

Many managers lack people skills and are often illiterate. Most employees try to do their best but are overwhelmed by lack of time to complete tasks. Managers are quick to shift priorities & will often create "company policy" that makes no sense. 'Helping customers' often becomes the last thing after all of the hours in the day are consumed with ill conceived projects,sporadic training,covering other employees areas,pointless meetings, etc. Also Lowes return policy is widely abused by customers who know Lowes will take back anything. It is a real morale buster for employees to watch thieves take advantage of the company.

Pros

Benfits are good, hours are OK, possibilities for advancement are good, store locations make it convenient to get to work.

Cons

Management is not fair and equitable in treating employees, discipline and dismissals not handled equitably , preferential treatment and shifts for favored employees and are not based on merit or performance. Supervisors are not trained in people skills for dealing with employees.
