Keep looking for a better job

Pros

It is just a job until you can find better employment. Very little in the form of pay increases so ask for more than you think they will pay when you apply. employee moral is always low because they never hire enough employees to cover the floor. Most of management are good people and good to work for because they dislike there job more than most. there is no fairness in who gets promoted because it is usually done by the buddy system(ass kissers) but Lowes will pay just enough to get you from week to week but always keep looking for better opportunities.

Cons

Late night and very few weekends off

I picked a great place NOT to work!

Pros

Good benefits. Great shift schedules. Most of the team members and coaches (supervisors) are great!

Cons

Senior management stinks. Favoritism is a fast track! Great opportunity for team members to advance to management, but once you get there.....prepare to play along and shut up or you'll never get ahead. Team members run the place, since management is so concerned about keeping the union out. Have an accident? Get a write-up! Put something away wrong? Get a write-up? Pick the wrong item? Get a write-up. One minute late for work? Get a write-up! Measured standards (Performance Management!) under 100%? Get a write-up! Look at someone wrong? That's harrassment! Get fired! This place NEEDS a union!
