Current Employee – been working at Lowe's full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Lowe's is a good company to work for because if you do your job there is always opportunity to move upward in the company.

Cons – You will always be asked to do things outside of your basic job description, if you want to work for Lowe's you just have to accept the fact that you are going to have to cross train in all of your surrounding departments and be able to multi talk well in order to be successfull in the long term with the company.

Advice to Senior Management – Create a better avenue for employees to give feedback to the corporate office. The big focus of this would be on planagram issues and other merchandise types of concerns that don't always seem to be implemented in the most efficient way from the corporate level. If local stores had a little more flexablity in this area they could taylor the layout and merchandising in their stores more to local demand.

Pros – You work with a lot of interesting people, and meet a lot of different customers.

Cons – Store tends to show favoritism and only promotes the same individuals instead of promoting people within.

Advice to Senior Management – Promote people who are proven to do a job from within. Hiring people from outside the company to do a job over current employees who have to train them is a slap in the face.
