Pros

The two best reasons to work for Lowe's would have to be the fact that there is good job security plus the money you make per hour is pretty decent also. On average you get paid a 2-4 dollars more then the state minimum.

Cons

The worst thing about Lowe's is all of its stupid policies and procedures. Some of the things they do and say do not make any sense. They always change their minds, and there is absolutely minimal communications between departments. Plus they hire some of the most unintelligent people possible!!!

Pros

Lowe's has a great 401k and Stock plan. Company match on 401k is up to 6%. Employees can purchase stock at a 15% discount from the regular market. Health benefits include medical, dental and vision. Lowe's also has an exstensive Lifetrack program that provides employees with the tools and information to lead healthier lives. Sales floor employees are given the opportunity to bonus each month depending on the sales in their individual departments. Employees also have the abilitly to bonus throughout the year depending on customer service scores and inventory shrink.

Cons

Most jobs in Lowe's are physically demanding. Most employees are expected to lift freight up to 50lbs daily. Due to staffing during the slow sales seasons, an employee may be asked to cover multiple departments, even if they do not have the proper training.

Pros

Compensation & Benefits are at the top of the list, but overall it is a great place to work. The managers are generally good people with good intentions, and they have a tendency to actually listen to your ideas and consider them if not pat you on the back and tell you "good thinking". Praise seems to be fairly abundant and hard work is usually noticed and praised.

Cons

You will always have at least one incompetent manager to deal with no matter where you work.
