Pros

1) Good food provided 2) Admin facility is good

Cons

1) No proper hike or bonus is given every year. Though the bonus is part of the employee CTC, only less percentage is given. 2) Less opportunity for growth and a very toxic environment to work for. 3) High attrition rate for the employees in the past 6 months 4) Worst leadership/management who don't know anything currently happening in the project. Managers don't take any decision and only nod yes to any request given to them from Lowes Onsite. 5) Service company politics where anybody who butters the manager gets a good rating, feedback and promotion. Fake promises are given always to the employees. 6) Management only cares about themselves and their growth. High priority is given to them for their growth and promotion. 7) Leadership changes every 6 months leading to disruption between the employee and manager which causes even more problem 8) Legacy system is being used in the company. Lowes is still 40 years behind in using the latest application as compared to the current competitors. Very low-quality work is provided to the employees. 9) Partiality is given to certain team or project where it is in a watch list from the upper management. Other teams are not bothered or cared about. 10) HR business team doesn't have any power and is for namesake. Any complains or escalation which is confidentially rasied to them will be openly told to the upper management team about the person who has complained and in turn causing more problems. They never act on the employee complains but rather make sure that the upper management is also comfortable. Skip level meeting is conducted but no use as the HR uses this opportunity to find out who is the employee who complains and in turn rats them out to the upper management 11) No job security. Firing happens frequently without any reason based on directors who want to bring their people into the company. 12) Fraternizing happens a lot with the upper management where they don't look for the talent of the employees.

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.
