Pros

Some of my best years were at Lowe's. Great company with plenty of opportunities for advancement.

Cons

No work life balance. Salaried managers work a MINIMUM of 55 hours a week. Truth is my team and I have been working 60-65 every week. The demands have become higher yet the staffing has been cut once again. We;re told to manage through our teams, but our teams have been down to only part timers with limited availability.

Pros

Honestly, none They might claim free food, transportation and nice looking facilities. I've always found it to be mismanaged. The cons for sure outweigh these measly pros

Cons

Inept managers who gossip about their team members, bosses and anyone in between Outdated tech, no inspiring or innovative work Weird micromanagement, non-flexible, forced hours work culture Uninspiring leaders Politics to the level of GOT Very toxic all in all High attrition rate Hires and protects people with shady reputation

Pros

A paycheck. I'll be leaving very soon.

Cons

Management is disrespectful and abusive. Most employees are very poor quality people. Managers come from this same group of people so don't expect much from them. Corporate thinks they are elite and could care less about store level employees. Most associates leave or are fired in 6 months or less. Management maintains control via managing by chaos. They can't compete with Home Depot and Menards. This store's volume has declined every year for the past 3 or so. Time to clean house or close. Most of the full timers are lazy and try to push off work on part timers. They are also very good at feigning injuries so they don't have to do their job. Ethicspoint is a complete smoke screen to make you go away. If you have an issue, sue! Lowe's will pay. I've never seen so many injuries at one location and the internal politics are absurd for a small retail store.
