Pros

Mostly enjoy helping customers. Benefits are good compared to other companies.

Cons

They don't work set schedules with set days off. You can't get a second job, go back to school, or really make any plans. You only get 1 scheduled weekend off a month and the others are scattered. When you do get 2 days off in a row the schedule you to close the day prior then open the day after. You are unable to really do much, like leave town for a trip, due to having to work till 10 P.M. then be back for your shift your next work day by 6 A.M. Pay raises are given only once a year and usually they are not reviewed with you. This is primarily due to management being cowards. They don't want to tell you you are only getting a 3% or less raise. They make it almost impossible to use your vacation time. You can only use it at specific dates and it can be denied very easily .

Pros

Good co-workers--there was a real family atmosphere at my store. Positive interactions with grateful customers. Lots of opportunity for transfer between stores and for new challenges.

Cons

Not having enough employees to meet the customer demand. Excusing yourself from a customer to respond to "call buttons." Poor work-life balance. Illogical corporate rules are not overridden at the store level.

Pros

The two best reasons to work for Lowe's would have to be the fact that there is good job security plus the money you make per hour is pretty decent also. On average you get paid a 2-4 dollars more then the state minimum.

Cons

The worst thing about Lowe's is all of its stupid policies and procedures. Some of the things they do and say do not make any sense. They always change their minds, and there is absolutely minimal communications between departments. Plus they hire some of the most unintelligent people possible!!!
