Pros

lowes is a good retail store to work at. the employes are great and the managment is good also

Cons

the main down side of working at lowes is their scheduling. as an employee there you work a corporate schedule where you have different days off from week to week, you also work different times from one day to the next.

Pros

steady, secure job with a good 401k package. The ability to transfer to just about any store in any state if you must move.

Cons

inconsistency of store management to uphold companywide standards. The company has gotten too big to manage effectively. Like most big organizations 30% of the employees do 90% of the work while the other 70% kill time until there shift is over.

Pros

Great entry-level job for those who don't have college educatoin yet. Home improvement retail pays better than other retailers. Lowe's also gives you the opportunity to work your way up through the ranks to eventually earn a management position. Many store managers make great income without a degree. The benefits are also very competitive. Between 401(k) and medical benefits, Lowe's is hard to beat. Many medical plans hike rates for big families. Lowe's medical coverage is the same whether you have 1 dependent or 10. Finally, for those passionate about home improvement and retail, Lowe's is a great place to work.

Cons

It's retail. Need I say more? Plan on working weekends and holidays.
