      Pros

      The people you work with are usually great. They are team oriented and customer focused.

      Cons

      For the amount of money you make, you have to give up your personal life as it relates to schedueling. There is no consistency nor consideration to work one consistent schedule which is not great if you have a family.

      Pros

      Lowe's provides a steady job that pays the bills and the benefits are decent, but not great. If you show up on time and do your job, you'll receive regular pay increases of about 5% a year. There are opportunities for bonuses, but they are hard to achieve. If you enjoy the retail industry, Lowe's is not a bad place to work.

      Cons

      There is very little opportunity for advancement at Lowe's. They talk a good story, but don't follow through. For example-- you can complete the entry management training program, but never receive a manager's position. Promotions are not based on merit--but rather on who you know. The job you are hired to do will be the job that you'll do forever. You may be able to switch departments, but it will be the same job.

      Lowes is a decent place to work, but be willing to w-o-r-k!

      Pros

      For the most part, the people who work in my store have experience in the department in which they work, and therefore have knowledge of product. The people in my store are customer oriented and service oriented and are genuinely interested in helping people find what they need and to give them product information that will help them with their projects. Additionally, I have found that the different departments overlap in coverage so that we know enough about other departments to guide a customer to what they may need elsewhere in the store. Our installation department is quality-oriented and bends over backwards to make sure the customer is satisfied.

      Cons

      Retail hours... having to do freight.
