Lovely campus, lots of work

Project Manager (Current Employee)
Mooresville, NC (US)

I have been working at Lowe's as a contractor for more than 3 years

ProsLowe's has a lovely campus! There is a lot of work going on in IT, no dearth of work here. Contract positions continue for a longterm here

ConsThe Employee - Contractor divide is huge; contractors are second class citizen over here. Employee salary is quite low.

Advice to Senior ManagementTreat contractors as Strategic business partners. They can do so much more for you if they are actively engaged with your strategy, they comprise such a big chunk of your workforce.
