Pros

Pay was somewhat decent. I was paid 14 dollars an hour. Which wasn’t that great. But could be worse

Cons

A lot of the time, I was the only cashier inside, besides lumber. Customer would often complain to me when there was a rush and i wasn’t able to check them all out fast enough. There would long lines and customers would sometimes yell and get impatient. Especially if I was checking out a large furniture order. The military discount was the worst. Because I was the only cashier, often times people had to use the self check out machines, and most people forgot/didn’t have a Lowe’s card. They couldn’t apply the military discount onto their purchase and so sometimes I had to start over and ring up again my own machine. Which caused the line, to become longer and people grew impatient. The Lowe’s credit card was absolutely horrible. They tried to get us sell those as much as possible. It was annoying and inconvenient. Being a woman here, was often uncomfortable. I often dealt with unwanted flirting and sometimes touching, not just from customers but from the other staff as well.

Pros

Lowe's provides an excellent atmosphere that is fun, safe, and comfortable to work in. I was worried about not knowing where things were when a customer asked, but you can always look to a fellow employee to give you a hand....with anything! If you've never used powered equipment, that will change.

Cons

If you aren't full time, hours will get cut around Summer time. Having a heavy work-load and having to cover 1 or 2 other departments. When you put on the vest, the customer will assume that you know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING in the store while others will expect you to be in 2 places at once. It may seem tedious at times, but no matter how busy you are, you have to make it a habit to stop and ask EVERY customer (with a smile) if they could use your help for anything.
