Pros

Working with an excellent group of co workers and "sometimes" management

Cons

It is very difficult to get benefits. You MUST be working full time to get them. Even then, you have to bug HR to make sure that you get them. As mentioned in other reviews, the "Good ol boy" network is still in place. While minorities might not have as much difficulty moving up, women are RARELY promoted. If they are promoted it is for the head of the front end or Home decor and not anywhere else. Depending on the store, some managers will try to cut corners to increase sales. When I worked at lowes in Lawn and Garden, safety rules were routinely ignored! If you are a male cashier expect to be singled out to do carts when the cart pushers call in or don't show up to shifts.

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!!!

Pros

Lowe's has a great 401k and Stock plan. Company match on 401k is up to 6%. Employees can purchase stock at a 15% discount from the regular market. Health benefits include medical, dental and vision. Lowe's also has an exstensive Lifetrack program that provides employees with the tools and information to lead healthier lives. Sales floor employees are given the opportunity to bonus each month depending on the sales in their individual departments. Employees also have the abilitly to bonus throughout the year depending on customer service scores and inventory shrink.

Cons

Most jobs in Lowe's are physically demanding. Most employees are expected to lift freight up to 50lbs daily. Due to staffing during the slow sales seasons, an employee may be asked to cover multiple departments, even if they do not have the proper training.
