Pros

Was purchased by Lowe's a few years back, and company has changed a lot since then. Management has a clear direction, and the company has shown time and time again that it is willing to hire inexperienced (but promising) employees. This is a great place for someone with no job experience to gain experience. There are strict rules for how to climb the corporate ladder, which makes it easy to know what you have to do in order to get a new job title.

Cons

Under Lowe's leadership, middle management has tripled in size. Has a very east-coast, top-down dictatorial style of management which clashes with modern west-coast attitudes and ways of thinking. Pay tends to be seniority based, rather than merit based. Each organ within the company has communication problems when communicating with other organs, and an excessive amount of time is spent filling out reports instead of adding value.

Pros

Fun work environment with great potential for both personal and career growth. There have been a lot of progressive moves that have put the company moving in the right direction. Great place to start your career and to gain invaluable experience. The free snacks are a definite plus.

Cons

I dislike the coffee in the break room.
