Pros

Steady, Bid employer benefits. Pay is always decent for salaried workings. Most people you work with are happy. Good health benefits as well as 401k and stock matching programs.

Cons

Retail hours, especially for salaried individuals. Chinese overtime - more you work less make per hour. Help with scheduling to allow employees to obtain a better work/ life balance. Cross training should be more prevalent and no one should not be able to provide a minimal level of help to someone.

Pros

Working at lowes is a team effort there is a since of shared responsibility for labor from dept man on down. You will have opportunities for advancement if you work hard and master your current position. You will be treated with respect most of the time, and morale is still high even in the recession. compensation is good and there are health and 401k fund matching benefits . I is a far environment and you will receive feedback good and bad when there is an audit of any kind going on in your department. oh and they like to hire for senior managment from the inside.

Cons

not enough time not enough employees, too many store processes to keep up with on the day to day. I think a more stream lined store process and a massive computer upgrade would make a huge difference in the stores. I know zone managers manage by telling not by doing but in a recession I think some one has to pick up the slack when most of us are maxed out for time management as it is . The only solution is overtime wich were not allowed to use. thats my one and only rant with lowes once you learn to work within the system

Pros

advancement pace/availability according to personal work ethic and merit// benefits package retirement plan. For any person seeking a challenge of learning new information (ie: home improvement areas and topics) and applying it to a big box retail environment servicing customers both knowledgeable of product and not, this is the company for you!! Lowe's is a workplace that allows a person to grow through interaction in an atmosphere of continuous training, positive/negative feedback, diversity, and ever-changing product lines. Any person who is determined to grow and mentor those around them will achieve senior level management within a period of five years or less. Opportunity is the key benefit asset to this workplace.

Cons

retail work schedule takes priority to personal life
