Pros

Great benefits and good pay, stock discounts and purchase discounts, Year round work in a heated and cooled building that you don't have to get filthy. I really like and respect most of my coworkers and enjoy going to work most of the time. Paid holidays and sick time, 2 weeks vacation and lots of room for advancement. Good in store discounts on products that the regular person needs. Bonus's for giving great customer service and hitting your sales goals, our store has ap arty and gives a way a few new cars or trucks almost every year. The management team tends to be younger and more willing to change this the times.

Cons

Working holidays and not be able to take off when my family is in town, even if you ask a year ahead of time.

Pros

Great culture and integrity-based senior management. There are great career paths for those in the stores, in distribution or in the stores. While other companies tend to be competitive, Lowe's is a very collaborative environment. It is a company you can be proud to say you work for. Team Lowe's Racing has a poroud tradition to follow. Everyone in the corporate office knows we are ultimately working for the store and distribution employees and really for our customers.

Cons

Retail is tough and not for everyone, but Lowe's get's it right. I have worked at a number of other Fortune 500 companies and Lowe's is right up there with the best. There really are no real downsides. Corporate politics? You've got that anywhere.

Pros

I received a decent salary while working there through college. Great co-workers who made time go by quickly.

Cons

Unqualified upper management who are more concerned with their own bonuses rather than their employees. I was employed there for 1.5 years and only had 2 weekends off--weekends meaning Saturday and Sunday, not including Friday. I had much more knowledge of the plumbing department than any manager working there.
