Pros

I get great satisfaction of getting great feedback from customers and have recived several awards from customers emailing corporate on how I have taken care of their needs. On a local level you MAY hear back from senior management that someone said something good about your service but generally it pushed aside. It is only recognized when an email is sent to corporate.

Cons

Rotating schedules that in any given week you WILL start before opening to the public and also be closing the store possiblythe next day by starting mid afternoon. No matter what progress you may have made in fixing or correcting problems or issues there are always more that need to be addressed, and those are the only ones that matter to senior management - not the progress you have made - but on those that you have not gotten to address. The work that needs to be done in the time alloted is seldom sufficient to PROPERLY COMPLETE a task before management has you moving on to the next. Then you are called to task for not completing the first properly or completely.

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.
