Cincinnati, OH

Current Employee – been working at Lowe's full-time for less than a year

Pros- Cool co-workers
- Awesome Department manager
- Very understanding Manager's

I ended up at an awesome store. All the people there see to be quite nice. Now, there are a few people who are a little rugged, but we can't always have a perfect batch, can we?

Cons- Some co-workers know how to get away with doing the bare minimum

Working in an entry level retail job, it's not uncommon to see some of the other entry employees not contributing as much as they could to get the job/tasks completed.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep on keepin' on.
