Pros

Lowe's is the # 2 Big-Box Home Center and actually growing faster than The Depot - so if you can stand the grind then you can stay employed Lowe's used to be a company where if you worked hard , then you could advance in your career and make the company better . this has become an environment where many people who have no experience in the Home Center business have more influence than workers with many years in the business and since no one really knows what should be done , the consensus winds up going in a tangent

Cons

Poor training , - the company is geared toward everyone ' working the company formula ' via the computer -yet the ' computer training' that they offer is an on-line course without the benefit of any decent human teachers so what you wind up with is computer nerds who know very little about the product that they are working with The people in charge of the training are more concerned if your sweater has a collar on it than if their compter training is helping anyone. 2) there are too many bean counter/ consultants looking over your shoulder and telling you what wwent wrong and not enough ' head-count' to get the projects accomlpished

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.
