Pros

I worked for Lowe's Home Improvement for years. I was hired in as sales and I left as a sales. I encountered good management who shared in the sames values and beliefs as their mission statement exclaims. Good training courses, HR support, benefits and salary. The company as a whole is a great company for single people.

Cons

In the years that I was employed I went through LOTS of store managers as well as department managers. Be prepared to work in hostile conditions. Definitely not a family friendly atmosphere would not want my grown children to work there. I would compare it to a payton place, ran by pimps. Long hours. No real support from management. Must be self motivated and have since of pride in your own ability or you will not survive morale there.

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
