Pros

Straight forward and easy work. Great GM at my store!

Cons

I was paid $1 above minimum wage in my state. Schedule was all over the place even as a part timer. I'd work eight days in a row mostly four hour shifts sometimes closing one day and opening the next day at 6AM. Then have no hours for three to four days in a row. Middle management in my store is very poor. Out of all the leads and ASMs(25ish), I'd say only a handful were competent. It's a job in a retail environment so you work with some nice people but also a lot of bitter retail lifers. Customers will always stink in any low end retail environment and this was no different. I was assaulted by a customer, but as it was my last day of my two weeks notice, only one ASM took it seriously and there was no follow up even though I filed a police report. PT benefits are a joke. They do not even cover once a year blood tests or x-rays. No ER or emergency coverage at all. Part of the reason I took this "not so great" retail job was for the benefits. So if thats why you need this job, I'd look somewhere else.

Pros

If you want to be lazy it's perfect 👌

Cons

This is the worst company I have EVER worked for, the worst I've ever been treated by an employer. So bad it caused me to be suicidal. The managers are incompetent. They are not leaders, they do not care about your wellbeing, just what they can get out of you. If you don't get credit cards you get yelled at. I'm seen so many employees just walk out because of that reason alone. I begged for full time, never gave it to me, but still give it to new hires. Which caused my kids and I to have no health insurance. Constantly changing my schedule. Which causes you to never be able to make any plans, or have a life. Denied my leave of absence for surgery as I'm literally laying in bed waiting to get surgery. Which was still dinged as a call out. Eventually leading me to a final, to finally get fired from the hell hole that is Lowes. I was smiling getting fired, walked out the door and felt so much relief. Lowes blows.
