Pros

I love providing great customer service and to be in a job where you are truly valued as a employee. I have been with Lowe's for almost 2 years now and i like it a little more each day great benefits flexible schedule (and i'm full time) sweet vacation, sick, and holiday pay after the first year too top it off (and you even build up some in the first year) and the advancement opportunities are their you just have to be willing to chase them. All of my coworkers, managers, assistant store manager's, and even the store manager is their to eagerly help you and teach you what you need and want to know it makes you feel truly together as a team. I would recommend a career with Lowe's to anybody i like "My Lowe's Life" (you see what i done there that was a work pun XD)

Cons

Well in retail everyone starts off making dirt i know i did and it sucked but that's mostly all retail places not just Lowe's, and there is a certain lack of training when you start it feels like they almost are throwing you to the wolves but lucky my fellow employee's where there to help. And lets face it customers can be real jerks and you have to learn to just take it (once again that's mostly all retail not just one company) so honestly i don't really know of anything negative to say about Lowe's its the best company I've worked for so far.

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.
