Pros

Pays fairly well for someone in or just out of high schoolers looking to pay for college. Has a fairly laid friendly back environemnt with good department managers and ok store managers. (At least at my store) My store also treats the customer very well. I always feel like I am helpful for the customers and the store.

Cons

The deading house economy has hit Lowes hard; they do not give raises as freely as they use to nor do they have a fully staffed management team (at least at my store). Decreased revenue from the economy means smaller and less frequent bonuses.

Pros

The benefits are good even though you have to pay about 40 percent of them which is better than most businesses and in appliances you have the potential to make more than the managers but if they are not on the same page which is usually the case there are conflicts of interest.

Cons

Managers not knowing how to manage situations, people , and shooting before asking questions. They don't promote educated employees like they do employees that have been with them a long time. Thats part of the problem! An educated person doesn't need a long time in the field to get knowledgable about products and such while the average Joe who gets promoted with longer service is narrow minded. The bigger Lowe's becomes the more the numbers will be crunched and the benefits less or more paid for by the employee. It happens to all companies who become large! See Food Lion! The larger you become the less of something you will get!
