Pros

Good co-workers--there was a real family atmosphere at my store. Positive interactions with grateful customers. Lots of opportunity for transfer between stores and for new challenges.

Cons

Not having enough employees to meet the customer demand. Excusing yourself from a customer to respond to "call buttons." Poor work-life balance. Illogical corporate rules are not overridden at the store level.

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.
