Pros

There is nothing positive about working at Lowe's. It is worse than any other retail establishment I have worked at, besides JC Penney and Kmart.

Cons

Management is out of touch, shareholder wealth is top priority and regard for employees and customers are thrown out the window. Management does not care about the safety or quality of life of its associates. It is a corporate beast and the management have zero autonomy. Run by corporate swamp monster robots who are selfish, self-serving, and entirely clueless about the frontline of their operation. The Pro Sales setup is a joke. Archaic system. Management would rather hire teenagers at $8 an hour than keep hardworking, experienced personnel. Anyone who has any intelligence will not last here for long. Management finds a way to get rid of good people. They make it a mission to eradicate anyone who provides them with any value. Most Lowe's stores are run by gay women who are on the #metoo movement bandwagon and actively attempt to get people fired for false reasons or no reasons. It is an extremely hostile work environment. Everything I have read about the CEO and his initiatives make me look forward to the day when Lowe's sinks miserably. I unloaded all my stock, by the way, and so did my brother and sister. We had been holding stock for many years. I absolutely hate this company and would discourage anyone to work here. It will rob you of your soul.

Vastly Understaffed

Pros

You get a job and you don't get disciplined.

Cons

Understaffed, consistently asked to do things outside your job description due to either being understaffed or random last minute call-offs. Communication is poor. If you need to call off or you're running late, good luck finding someone to notify. In fact, they won't even notice you were gone. Pay is subpar. They tell you you get a 15 minute break every 2 hours when you start. That goes out the window about two weeks in and you realize that there is no time to leave for a break because there are only two cashiers on duty.
