Pros

lots of opportunities within the organization-you can move around in different departments once you get in the door, good experience to work with a large, sucessful company, nice work environment in a relatively cheap area of the country, job security and stability is also a plus for Lowe's,

Cons

lots of red tape, lots of people just waiting for retirement--not energetic or motivated, pay is lower than at other retailers, cutting expenses so much, its to the detriment of the business, total lack of holidays-Lowe's is only closed two days a year, so there rest of the holidays are floating, and there is not many of them, lack of vacation, especially for non-senior employees

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.
