Terrible job

Pros

Lowe’s does offer fairly good pay and tries their best to take care of employees.

Cons

DID NOT TAKE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC SERIOUSLY. it’s terrible to see how horrid their care for their employees is, specifically in this regard. Changing policies to make life easier and better for higher ups, while hurting those actually working the sales floor and speaking with customers. Took away our scheduling promise of one weekend off a month, which I took this job (after working a M-F) with that promise. Within a week that was changed. My bosses never properly trained me as promised and refused to help when I really needed it. If you can avoid working here, do. If you can’t, be extremely careful. We watched 4-7 anti-union videos every three months, absolutely disgusting. I have a legal disability, my boss consistently made fun of it & my choice to wear a mask since they aren’t social distancing.

Pros

Only place I’ve worked where I truly loved my coworkers and felt like family. Lots of professional opportunity if you’re of the retail career mindset.

Cons

It’s not the ‘family’ company it used to be that looked after employees. But that’s okay, times change. The company does more with fewer employees. You’ll need to be in three places at once as they’ve cut labor spend, You’ll fill in/cover breaks at other store departments with no training for that department and no knowledge of how to help customers. Customers think you are a handyman and an expert on whatever you are standing near. It’s the way retail is nowadays.
