Pros

Fair pay, fair treatment. Relatively low-stress environment with plenty of opportunity for advancement. I'm pretty free to do whatever I think needs being done, even though I'm in a sales position. Good benefits package. There's also a stock purchase program where you get 15% off the market price. Plenty of opportunities to expand your pay beyond your hourly rate.

Cons

Not much autonomy at the store level. Everything seems to be centralized higher up. Almost feels like they don't trust the individual stores to run themselves adequately. Seems to be an odd balance on how they determine how much they pay entering cashiers and entering sales positions and lower management.

Pros

Lowe's is a strong growing compan in a withering economy. There is still opportunities for advancement with all of the new store growth. If you are dedicated , work hard and enthusiastic, there are programs set up for training and professional growth that will benefit in many other business environments.

Cons

It is very policy oriented. Limits the thinking of outside the box and stifles individual thought and decision making. There are times that you are required to work late but have to cut back later in week for overtime. Also salaried employees are required to work too many hours. They can not balance a work home life.
