Pros

Pay is good and the skills you learn in this position are helpful. Is a good position to build rapport with customers as well. The only good thing Lowe’s has to offer is pay and benefits. That is literally it. If you want good pay and good benefits as a full timer, this is it.

Cons

You will spend double the amount of time correcting issues that aren’t yours than you will actually getting to create your design in the first place. Lowe’s does not have a streamline process to ensure orders are placed accurately or are able to be fixed or adjusted easily if there is an issue. They do not pay for the software or programs needed to be able to ensure orders are placed efficiently and accurately. Scheduling is also poorly managed. They will have one person covering three departments (even before Covid and unemployment happened) and expect the sales and tasks in each of them to be completed. The mental and physical health of the employees are the least of their concerns. People who genuinely care for the well-being of others will not make it in management here or be given the opportunity to move up. You will either become burned out and have a mental breakdown or you will turn into a Vulcan and become solely goal-oriented at the expense of the health and experiences of the people around you.

Pros

Free food. Cab on a charge basis.

Cons

No work life balance. No team lunch. They will expect you to work even on weekends. Even, if your shift timing gets over, manager expects you to work beyond your shift timings. You have to do everything here. Be it development, testing or devops. They won't care if u have the right skills or not. U must do it. Or they will make you to resign.

Pros

Nothing this place is horrible to work for!

Cons

Everything is wrong with this place and it starts with your corporate rotating schedule. I recommend you find work elsewhere. Customers are terrible. They come in and expect you to drop your current customer to help them. They don’t set appointments, they have unrealistic expectations and don’t have a common curtesy for their fellow human. They have no manners and are completely rude. Senior Management, Service Management and corporate do not care about you! They only care about checking boxes to make the senior corporate staff happy. These people have no idea how to run a business effectively, they just closed 50 stores and facilities. The installation side of the business is terrible. They hire people into a service field who have no idea how the installation process works and they don’t have enough general contractors to support their installation programs. They talk about the top line but look at the bottom line. All the stuff they sell 20%-30% of it gets re-ordered because it’s incorrect, of poor quality or the customer complains enough they give it away for free, give them a discount or they reorder, give it to them for free and then give them a gift card for their troubles. Like forreal?? Just say no and move on. Whatever happened to taking care of the customer the first time , making a profit, instead of providing very poor service then have to give everything away?! They don’t care about those numbers. They only care about the numbers going into the register. Their percentages and calculating system is so jacked up. Everyone thinks they are making a profit but truth is look at the loss ratio not what your putting in the register everyday. Everyone in this place is flying by the seat of their pants. They promise things to your face then turn around and deliver the opposite. Each manager tells you something different leading to conflict because no one is on the same page. The store managers walk around with their hands in their pockets barking commands and are oblivious to what is really happening on the floor. They could care less as long as they are making the big bucks, taking vacations, getting bonuses and aren’t getting a surprise walk in by the corporate staff. This place will suck your soul away. Corporate people don’t know who you are or care about you. They don’t come in shaking your hand, say hello by your first name or say good job for your hard work. They ask who are they and why aren’t they doing more. They never say thank you or congratulate you on any achievements. All they say is do more, do more do more and when you don’t deliver you are on the blacklist.
