Pros

Coming from Home Depot to Lowe's its a much relaing atmosphere. Lowe's shows how much they truly care for there employees and not just there stock options. Great Matrix for rotating hours certain shifts each week, not too flip flopping like Home Depot. Great training, great spiffs on products you sell as long as your certified/trained to sell them. The company looked out for me and my new family when need be. Pay is great for retail and experience will last a lifetime not only in the work field, but in your personal life.

Cons

It's retail so yes your gonna have to deal with angry customers. Strange hours, last minute changes to schedule if needed or to taylate to cover customer overflow. Only an hour for lunch and by the time you clock out and get outside your time is already trickling down. As far as I know you still can not smoke on premise. I was actually asked if I smoked during my 1st interview with them. Another associate aid the HR refused to hire someone b/c they lit up after the interview in the parking lot.

Pros

If you want to be lazy it's perfect 👌

Cons

This is the worst company I have EVER worked for, the worst I've ever been treated by an employer. So bad it caused me to be suicidal. The managers are incompetent. They are not leaders, they do not care about your wellbeing, just what they can get out of you. If you don't get credit cards you get yelled at. I'm seen so many employees just walk out because of that reason alone. I begged for full time, never gave it to me, but still give it to new hires. Which caused my kids and I to have no health insurance. Constantly changing my schedule. Which causes you to never be able to make any plans, or have a life. Denied my leave of absence for surgery as I'm literally laying in bed waiting to get surgery. Which was still dinged as a call out. Eventually leading me to a final, to finally get fired from the hell hole that is Lowes. I was smiling getting fired, walked out the door and felt so much relief. Lowes blows.
