Lowe's Home Improvement

Engaged Employer

I loved the job. But the quality of the job environment is entirely dependent on the current store manager. - Live Nursery Sales Specialist Lowe's Home Improvement Employee Review

Pros

Good benefits, great co-workers. The job is stressful, but fun. Live nursery specialist requires great knowledge of plants as you're helping people plan and plant their yard/garden. I loved working outside, but it's not for everyone.

Cons

Having to deal with new managers and ASMs who want you to do it THEIR way when your way works, and who take a dislike to you and treat you judgmentally regardless of the great job you're doing. Physical labor intensive, outside in heat and cold. You have some control over ordering live goods, but a huge amount is just pushed in and you have to figure out what to do with it and try to keep it alive. Meanwhile you get blamed for the shrink and losses.

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
