Pros

The pay is pretty decent, though many new employees are being hired well below where they should be. As and Appliance sales specialist you have an opportunity to make a good amount of money in fact more than most salaried managers. Also Lowe's is air conditioned.

Cons

Company will not work with employees wanting to continue education. They advertise tuition reimbursement for full time employees then tell you if you want to go to school you have to drop down to part time and lose your position. The work schedule is horrendous, often working nine days straight, varying shifts one day you could be working 2pm-11pm the next day 6am-3pm. And they are firing people for using the sick time the company gives.
