Pros

Opportunity for team players and dependable workers, as well as for great leaders to promote. Great benefit program, including health, dental, vision, 401 K, etc. Extensive training available for all employees, including management staff and is ongoing. It is typically completed on-line and in some cases, with class room settings. Very people oriented and customer service intensive business if you enjoy same.

Cons

Holiday, nights and weekend hours...which is to be expected in this industry. Some high turnover of sales floor and cashier positions, as well as senior management (not all, but some) outside of the store can treat staff demeaning or even threatening, making for a difficult work environment.

Pros

The best thing about working for Lowes is the benefits. They off stock at a 15% discount for employees, 401K, they match 100% up the first 3%, 50% match up to 5% and 25% at 6%. They also offer dental, vision, and medical as well as many others.

Cons

The worst thing I have found in working for Lowes is the rate of pay for a college graduate with experience in the business. Just as any retail job, the hours can be hard, especially if you work until 11:00pm and have to be back at 5:00am the next morning. Sometimes manager favorites can be hard to deal with also.

Pros

1) Good food provided 2) Admin facility is good

Cons

1) No proper hike or bonus is given every year. Though the bonus is part of the employee CTC, only less percentage is given. 2) Less opportunity for growth and a very toxic environment to work for. 3) High attrition rate for the employees in the past 6 months 4) Worst leadership/management who don't know anything currently happening in the project. Managers don't take any decision and only nod yes to any request given to them from Lowes Onsite. 5) Service company politics where anybody who butters the manager gets a good rating, feedback and promotion. Fake promises are given always to the employees. 6) Management only cares about themselves and their growth. High priority is given to them for their growth and promotion. 7) Leadership changes every 6 months leading to disruption between the employee and manager which causes even more problem 8) Legacy system is being used in the company. Lowes is still 40 years behind in using the latest application as compared to the current competitors. Very low-quality work is provided to the employees. 9) Partiality is given to certain team or project where it is in a watch list from the upper management. Other teams are not bothered or cared about. 10) HR business team doesn't have any power and is for namesake. Any complains or escalation which is confidentially rasied to them will be openly told to the upper management team about the person who has complained and in turn causing more problems. They never act on the employee complains but rather make sure that the upper management is also comfortable. Skip level meeting is conducted but no use as the HR uses this opportunity to find out who is the employee who complains and in turn rats them out to the upper management 11) No job security. Firing happens frequently without any reason based on directors who want to bring their people into the company. 12) Fraternizing happens a lot with the upper management where they don't look for the talent of the employees.
