Pros

some of my fellow employees were nice, willing to teach and help you out when needed. Majority of management was easy to work with

Cons

Hours go from great to almost none in record time. I was a seasonal garden associate with over 2 years of retail experience. Was told to start applying right away for permanent positions. The positions they did post they had already decided who they were giving the jobs to, and some of them were the laziest people in the store. They have a 3 interview rule and used seasonal associates as two of the three interviews so they could give positions to their buddies faster.

Pros

Lowe's provides an excellent atmosphere that is fun, safe, and comfortable to work in. I was worried about not knowing where things were when a customer asked, but you can always look to a fellow employee to give you a hand....with anything! If you've never used powered equipment, that will change.

Cons

If you aren't full time, hours will get cut around Summer time. Having a heavy work-load and having to cover 1 or 2 other departments. When you put on the vest, the customer will assume that you know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING in the store while others will expect you to be in 2 places at once. It may seem tedious at times, but no matter how busy you are, you have to make it a habit to stop and ask EVERY customer (with a smile) if they could use your help for anything.
