I really enjoyed the job a lot. Love helping out customers and helping to grow fellow associates. However, Lowe’s is a woke company and only values woke ideology. I caution anyone who decides to work for them to be aware and cautious because of that. It is a value they have put above their corporate message of providing the best home improvement products the communities they serve.

Pros and Cons
There a lot of potential for growth.

I had worked there for over 3 months and I was let go I was never given a straight answer as to why I was let go. When I was hired I told the truth to the store manager at the time and he gave me a chance and I proved that I was going to come to work and do my best. But when the new store manager took over I was let go. All he said was it was something to do with my background or drug test

The atmosphere is positive and your co workers are like family but the pay could be better and benefits like medical, vision and dental aren’t the greatest. All employees get quarterly bonuses and there are weekly TEAM huddles that allows everyone to know what is going on and store and company wide. It’s a cool place to work with no drama. Everyone is pretty nice and friendly.

Pros and Cons
Friendly, occasional cookouts, quarterly bonuses and contests.
Pay and benefits . Schedules during an inflation for part time employees are very low,. 2-3 days/wk

I wish I could give you a great story, but I can’t. For the 14 years I was there, the last 8-10 have been awful. The company has seen a couple of CEOs, which in turn, has changed the company for the worse. The culture became very hostile and cut-throat. My recommendation is that you never start a career there. You will absolutely regret it.

Honestly, if you are looking to work in the retail arena, my suggestion is to look elsewhere for employment. I was with this company for several years . . . and never again! Lowe’s Home Improvement is not the company it used to be. It’s culture, pay structure and work/life balance has changed drastically. Starting from the day you get hired, the company is looking for ways to either terminate you or make you part-time, through micro-management and/or asset protection. The company, itself, is very political and cliquey, especially among management. If you start out part-time, which most do, thence be prepared for the off-season hours 8-10 hours a week. Although they’ll promise, at the least, 20-24 hour a week at pre-on boarding. Just save yourself the trouble and move on!

Pros and Cons
There is really no pros in this company.
Bad culture, low pay and no work/life balance.

While at Lowe's I would always get my work done earlier and end up just helping customers the whole time, work fun and it was enjoyable until Doug the head manager started being really rude to us we would get all our work done way before it was needed to and we had a lot of down time to ourselves where we basically just clean up and walk around and help customers when needed. Doug I guess had some type of ego power trip, anytime he saw us doing anything even if it was something our supervisors told us to do he'd come into the back and interrogate us about what we're doing and how company time is important, but nagging wasn't the issue, he started getting angrier and more unreasonable he would berate us and then it got so petty, often times he would come into the back find a riped bag and then harp on us for not cleaning it up but I started seeing him come into the department and cut a bag open when someone wasn't looking, and he make us clean it. Dirt gravel sand wood pellets anything.

Pros and Cons
friendly, company parties, plenty of downtime, can pretty much do whatever you want.

Worked there from January 2016 until May 2020. I was dedicated to my job in lumber. Unfortunately, a manager decided to start being a bully and fired me after she wrote me up for bogus incidents that never involved me. Well, I had trained every member of my team in the lumber department, so over the next two days when my team found out I had got kicked, they bounced on out of there. It took twelve employees from other departments to accomplish the tasks that my four teammates did every day. A year later a new store manager took over and fired her on his first day, along with two other managers, because of their hyperextended power trip. They had gotten spoiled to abusing their power from their insignificantly elevated rung on their pseudo corporate ladder. Karma and zen!

Pros and Cons
Friendly office, Human Resources is really outgoing.

Great benefits except there's little or no opportunity to advance to full time employment. Especially considering that the HR director moved her friends into those positions.

Pros and Cons
There are none
Don't count on anything from this place

Lowes was a very fun place to work during the time that I worked there! We had morning meetings (group huddles) where we were informed about sales, our goals for the week and anything else that was going on that day or week! We got quarterly bonuses if we made our numbers!

Pros and Cons
Overall great place to work
Having to work outside for a little while during the winter months

I can't speak to the store environment, but working inside the corporate office was a wonderful experience. I had excellent supervisors and management with very pleasant company culture and support. Getting accomodations for disability was fairly simple and I had no trouble from management with respecting them.

Pros and Cons
Good support, reasonable culture around work-life balance
Shifts for non 9-5 work determined by seniority so sometimes harder to get a "good" shift.

Working at Lowe's was a fun experience. My coworkers and direct manager were awesome. However, upper management was terrible. There was no support from them at all. They were constantly micromanaging and just made our job more difficult than it was. Also, the whole "Lowe's Safe" things is just their way of avoiding liability for anything, and it just made completing anything more difficult and complicated than it needed to be. I was also told by coworkers that getting a raise or even promotion with that company is rare. It didn't seem like they cared about any of their employees or their career growth.

Pros and Cons
Coworkers, Schedule
Upper Management, Rare raises, "Lowe's Safe", Limited Career growth, Salary

you do not have to do your job... someone else will do it for you

Poor management over all, no advancement in company unless you are in there click, no work home life balance, expect you to work multiple areas at the same time with out help and want the work of 4 people done in one shift by one person. No communication between managers. No raises to associates that have been there awhile and they are expected to do everything and train new people that come in and are making as much as they are. Claims associates pay are maxed out when others in store are making anywhere from 1 to 9 dollars more an hour with less time in company. Hiring unqualified people for positions over highly qualified ones. Then expect them to train that person which would be their boss. Turn over rate is very high at this location. 10 to 20 new faces each month or more. Try and find a manager when you need one. They are hiding in back in either the office or training room. Only a handful of older tenure employees left which are now looking else where for work or retirement.

Pros and Cons
Insurance and customers
No job advancements, no rises hardly, poor management, no work home balance.

I was hire for seasonal work in the spring of 2016. It was a good experience working with all the other seasonal employees as well as the full-time lawn & garden associates.

Pros and Cons
Good pay, plenty of workers on your shift, at least while the season was going on, nice co-workers .
Hot weather, maybe too physically demanding for some.

I worked with Lowes for 7 years I started there with breast cancer. Lowes worked with me through all of my medical needs. I also needed two knee replacements, lowes paid 100% of both surgeries. Im very grateful for the medical part of the employer, however they weren't a supportive company to work with, retention, moral support and morale.

Pros and Cons
Excellent care for medical needs if your full time
No moral support for morale issues. No retention

Management does not do their job properly. They want people below them to do their job for them. When I presented the A.S.M. with all of the papers and documents for him to fix the problem he would not do it and tried to make me do it. I talked to the district manager and show him all of the items for the issue. He said "You are correct, this is where the A.S.M. should have taken over this" and went back 2 pages of work that I had given him. I have worked a 4 different locations.

Pros and Cons
benefits (Not money) and convenience of the locations.
The management is underqualified for the job.

Was hired to open new store and get it on its feet. Had a good job, worked hard to prove myself. Recognized by management. Good employees. Extreme focus on no overtime. I was full-time. Most struggled to get enough hours or a promotion. Management was not honest with employees, 2-faced, non-supportive, and unforgiving if mistakes were made. Not my experiences, but witnessed appalling behavior to the extent that I will not shop any Lowes'. I will drive across town to shop at Home Depot or ACE.

Pros and Cons
Fellow employees, good customers, decent pay.
Poor management support, dishonesty to employees, few full-time jobs.

Working at lowes for a year and three months I figured out that it’s not what you put in , it’s what you make of it no matter how much you do for Lowe’s it’ll never be good enough you have to keep motivating yourself and making sure that you are good in every way possible. Knowing the things I know now I would do it all over again but better , working for poor management made me wish it was a better way for them to communicate. I loved getting compliments from customers and co workers because they seen how hard I worked and how good I was at my job

Pros and Cons
Meet great people , pay
Lack of communication, lack is associate appreciation etc etc

You know I expected this company to be different, I had already had 17 1/2 years of retail with Home Depot and I was actually excited to start. But the days are very long, some 12 hours and the pay one would expect is pretty much on par with Home Depot. I have been there a year now, and although I got a raise, it is not much. I asked for a bigger raise this time around and we'll see what happens. I do most of the physical work in my dept. I am rarely, if ever late, and I show up for work everyday, but there is a person in my dept that shows up 1/2 the time and definitely does less work than I and they make more than I do. Just not equitable.

Pros and Cons
I like my co-workers
Long work days, low pay.
