Pros

You have the ability to take advantage of shift flexibility, voluntary time off (unpaid). You can set a schedule that is convenient with your life schedule, so your start times, break times, lunch times, and end times can be different each day of the week if needed. Working remotely from home allows me to be more present with my family. Even if you're behind a closed door while on the phone, at least you're there when your kids get home from school, when the plumber is scheduled to come by, let the dog outside. I have saved so much $ on gas by not commuting to work, even on car insurance because I drive far less than I ever have.

Cons

Working alone at home can become lonesome. I do with I had the option to work in the Indianapolis call center from time to time. 1 day a week or a couple times a month would be awesome. From what I understand, the company is closing doors on all of the Customer Care buildings, so that won't be an option. If the Customer Care Representatives had a laptop, we might have the flexibility to work from a cowork space, family members home, Air BnB, anything!

Pros

Bonuses when available and employee discounts.

Cons

Lowe's corporate exhibits questionable practices, emphasizing its commitment to "its people." Nonetheless, dedicated employees with over 20 years of service were unexpectedly let go due to restructuring. Depending on the department, agency hours are expected without corresponding compensation. The company's rapid expansion during the pandemic resulted in role overlaps and strained relationships between teams, lacking role clarity. Numerous leaders often provide contradictory priorities, and without an established operational process, projects are frequently prioritized erroneously. Only two national holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) are observed, necessitating the use of vacation days for days like the 4th of July or Veteran's Day, which is ironic given Lowe's supposed support for veterans. While bonuses are offered, they are divided into two installments, with the second portion delayed. Additionally, returning to the office for onsite employees involves burdensome conditions, while those hired as fully remote were informed that promotions would only be possible upon returning to the office. The legality of such a policy is questionable.

Pros

Great pay and great skillsets to learn

Cons

Hard to progress, not as much lateral movement as they lead on, pushing to come back into the office full time vs remote, benefits are average if you're stuck in the 90's - 10 days pto with 4 floating holidays, pto did not start rolling over until this year, you can get 5 more pto days if you spend a whole 5 years with the comapny!
