Pros

There are not a lot of pros to working here. They built a new workout center. They have a nice headquartered campus. That's 'bout it.

Cons

Upper level management (Vice President and Directors) need to listen to their team. They constantly have empty promises of change. There is extremely high turnover and layoffs that occur. Lowe's constantly has the reputation of being a poor employer especially compared to other companies in the surrounding area. They try to spin situations in a positive light. You must play the politics game to work here. Be prepared. They are trying to change the company around, but there will need to be a mass exodus of leadership at all levels to leave to actually make an impact.

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.
