Procedures implemented properly Lowe's is the best place to work EVER!

Pros

If nothing else the illusion of job security seems to be a great place to start. These people have ALWAYS! had their heart in the right place and I am comfortable saying that in a given atmosphere where conditions play out as we are trained at Lowe's there would be nothing to complain about. Benefits, Good steady pay, opportunities to better yourself from within the ranks, friendship, working with the public. Programs for those in need. Honesty at least looking past store level. Concern for integrity all are "best" reasons to work for Lowe's.

Cons

Favoritism, 10 percent pay increase or minimum pay (whichever is higher) upon promotion and no wavering from that. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE management (at least at my location). Favoritism, off the street (hiring as a favor for a friend by a member of management especially Store Manager). Unrealistic deadlines, Hectic and crowded aisles (which really is a good thing just hectic). Rude disrespectful customers.

Pros

I receive a paycheck and am there when bargains come up

Cons

Lowe's will change your position on a wim If you are not liked for any reason there will be no advancement for you. Management talks to their employees like they are children although some are children and behave as such some of us are not and think we should be treated with respect

Customer and employee support and satisfaction at Lowes

Team leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The best reasons for working at Lowes that i have noticed in my store is that a majority of the crew is there to support one another. There are a rare few exceptions to that but i believe you have one of those people every where you go. Lowes has a good medical insurance plan that really takes care of its employees. I know that Lowes as a company as a whole cares about customer satisfaction. At my store there are many employees who go out of there way to make sure the customer is completely satisfied.

Cons

I feel that some of the downsides at working at Lowe's if you are a part-time employee is that you have no sick pay. I feel that a part-time employee should get sick pay at least at half the time a full-time employee does. A part-timer gets sick just like a full-timer does and is in need of the money just as much if not more than a full-timer. I feel vacation time should be given at one week outright for a part-time person because otherwise they are only paid 4hrs when during the summer they work generally 40 hours.
