Pros

Lowe's is the # 2 Big-Box Home Center and actually growing faster than The Depot - so if you can stand the grind then you can stay employed Lowe's used to be a company where if you worked hard , then you could advance in your career and make the company better . this has become an environment where many people who have no experience in the Home Center business have more influence than workers with many years in the business and since no one really knows what should be done , the consensus winds up going in a tangent

Cons

Poor training , - the company is geared toward everyone ' working the company formula ' via the computer -yet the ' computer training' that they offer is an on-line course without the benefit of any decent human teachers so what you wind up with is computer nerds who know very little about the product that they are working with The people in charge of the training are more concerned if your sweater has a collar on it than if their compter training is helping anyone. 2) there are too many bean counter/ consultants looking over your shoulder and telling you what wwent wrong and not enough ' head-count' to get the projects accomlpished

Pros

Remote, great starting pay for entry level remote. Team environment was the best part of the experience.

Cons

Very limited to no advancement opportunities with pay increases that don't even match cost of living increases. No HR support and the culture reflects that... not a company that has any flexibility in the way employees are handled when they make a mistake it stacks and is not removes for a year. If you have three mistakes even if they are in totally different areas they will terminate even tenured employees with otherwise perfect records. Not a way to keep good employees.
