Pros

Pretty office, has cafeteria, casual dress

Cons

Unprofessional workplace. Can't realistically compete with Amazon, although 1/2 staff think the top competitor is Home Depot. Lowe's has a gossipy and chummy environment - it really matters who you befriend. Management tries to stress that staff is friends, have a happy hour, "hang out together after work" "you guys should go drinking" "go have a happy hour together and hang out." It feels like they are trying to engineer a Google-like culture by attempting to force culture. With I-77 construction and traffic, Lowe's is a 45-minute drive from Charlotte. If you take the work-from-home perk offered to staff then you are shamed by your peers and immediate managers for taking them.

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.
