Pros

The best reason to work at lowes is to get a steady paycheck. It is retail and all that it implies, very few people choose to be in a retail setting, but lowes makes the best of it. The management team is usually heavy handed, but since they try to hire people for as little as possible, they don't exactly get the cream of the crop employee wise.

Cons

The downsides of working at lowes are the same as any other retail conglomerate. The pay is mediocre, the management generally dismal and the whole experience is frusterating to anyone who cares about what they do. If all you need is a paycheck and don't need to care about redundancy or meaningless busy work then it is a satisfactory place to earn a living.

Pros

Great benefits and good pay, stock discounts and purchase discounts, Year round work in a heated and cooled building that you don't have to get filthy. I really like and respect most of my coworkers and enjoy going to work most of the time. Paid holidays and sick time, 2 weeks vacation and lots of room for advancement. Good in store discounts on products that the regular person needs. Bonus's for giving great customer service and hitting your sales goals, our store has ap arty and gives a way a few new cars or trucks almost every year. The management team tends to be younger and more willing to change this the times.

Cons

Working holidays and not be able to take off when my family is in town, even if you ask a year ahead of time.

Pros

Great culture and integrity-based senior management. There are great career paths for those in the stores, in distribution or in the stores. While other companies tend to be competitive, Lowe's is a very collaborative environment. It is a company you can be proud to say you work for. Team Lowe's Racing has a poroud tradition to follow. Everyone in the corporate office knows we are ultimately working for the store and distribution employees and really for our customers.

Cons

Retail is tough and not for everyone, but Lowe's get's it right. I have worked at a number of other Fortune 500 companies and Lowe's is right up there with the best. There really are no real downsides. Corporate politics? You've got that anywhere.
