Pros
Decent pay if you are full time.
Cons
My experience in the 2 plus years at Lowes: Our store is chronically understaffed, meaning I work much harder than necessary to achieve my goals. I have my own department to supervise and I'm lucky if I spend 50% of my time working it- the rest of the day is spent supporting other departments and helping customers. My own department is understaffed- I often work alone for a team that requires at least 2 people in order to function. This results in balls getting dropped, unhappy customers, and spending time correcting mistakes that could have been avoided entirely if the proper support systems (staffing and training) were in place. If you are a slacker who just wants to clock in, shuffle around til your shift is over, you might be fine here. If you are motivated and forward thinking, expect to be frustrated and flabbergasted with Lowe's systems and priorities. It's a retail job, not splitting the atom- there's no excuse for it being this difficult.
