Pros

If you can get into the right group (in my experience, Lowes.com), the culture is extremely laid back and the work life balance is great. There is a lot of opportunity for upward and lateral mobility, allowing for some great experiences. Compensation is decent, especially considering the work life balance and the overall atmosphere. After working at a small company, the corporate office itself has some great perks: onsite pharmacy, coffee shop, cafeterias (including some external food vendors). Bonuses on .com are also traditionally solid.

Cons

Vacation/holiday time is very limited (expect 2-3 weeks vacation) with only 2 set company wide holidays. In my experience, this has been made up for with the work life balance... but something to consider in a less flexible setting for sure. Parts of the company can be very old school, stuck in a very traditional mindset that can be annoying for some. Related to the traditional mindset, I've worked in one group that was very religious (prayed at lunch if we went out as a team)... which I think could be a little uncomfortable.

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.
