Pros

Okay Pay Nice office HQ opportunity to network with different departments

Cons

No diversity outside of HR. Like NONE. Lowe’s will always be 2nd to THD until they start embracing diversity. Incompetent leaders who are selfish and do not care about your growth. This place does not do real marketing only a few get to do it. I’ve seen people get let go for no reason other than they weren’t a good “culture fit”. If you are a person who likes to challenge the idea of “ we’ve always done it this way” you will be miserable here If you don’t care and like to check a box this place is PERFECT for you! Department changes direction every 3 months. No stability. Too much work that goes no where. Asked to rework things that no one sees. Pointless. So many system issues that prevent you from going above and beyond New CEO is good but middle management is awful!

Pros

Excellent benefits package, very competitive pay

Cons

New CEO trying to make Lowe's exactly like Home Depot. Marvin has very few new or cutting edge ideas. Seems to be mimicking everything that was done when he was at Home Depot; including signage, operating systems, and supplies.
