Pros

All retail stores are subject to intense disection by former employees, that being said, Lowe's as a company is failing. However depending on certain managers, the is offset. Basically, it comes down to the senior management staff. I worked for Lowe's for over three years, and the entire time I worked there I thought that I could do better at other retailers. Lowe's will make you think that they are the leading retailer in employee satisfaction, however that is simply not the case. Lowe's is simply like all other retailers... Your career is simply based on the senior store management and whether they believe in you as an employee.

Cons

Benefits, time off, company fallout over failing home improvement market, lay offs.

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
