Toxic Culture, Poor Leadership, and More!

Pros

There are not a lot of pros to working here. They built a new workout center. They have a nice headquartered campus. That's 'bout it.

Cons

Upper level management (Vice President and Directors) need to listen to their team. They constantly have empty promises of change. There is extremely high turnover and layoffs that occur. Lowe's constantly has the reputation of being a poor employer especially compared to other companies in the surrounding area. They try to spin situations in a positive light. You must play the politics game to work here. Be prepared. They are trying to change the company around, but there will need to be a mass exodus of leadership at all levels to leave to actually make an impact.

Pros

Good cab facilities Free food Work from home Fun activities

Cons

Lot of internal politics. Company is run like 24*7 service providers to Moresville. Shifts on rotation basis. No job security. Every single thing depends on the manager. HR department is for namesake. Skip level meetings are conducted but no use. Employee survey feedback will be reviewed in the team meeting. Managers identify few people who have to inform them as to who wrote what in the survey. Bangalore team is just order takers from US. They do not have a say in anything. If you are in good terms with your manager from day one forgetting about your capabilities and ethics, you can grow to any heights.
