Pros

At the store level, Lowes generally offers employees without traditional education opportunities for advancement that they would not get elsewhere. Training for advancement is offered to all. As a retail environment, Lowe's encourages their employees to create positive experiences with customers and emphasizes interaction that gives the customer the information and products they need. It can be downright fun to help someone complete a project successfully.

Cons

The store hours are increasing and the store coverage is decreasing. Micro-management seems to be the order of the day with negative impact on morale and retension.

Pros

The pay way great, and management was awesome. The other employees were really great to work with. I have heard stories about some store manager's being jerks, but the store I was in, he was really laid back and treated the employees fair. Our store was one of the top 10 producing stores in the US!

Cons

There are people that get hired that slack off, but they don't stay very long. Also there never seems to be enough employees to cover a department.
