Pros
The Coworkers a great people. Lowe's does hire good people for the most part, even though the management at the store level is behind the times when it comes to when is the proper time to hire. Credit is given for possitive work, but it's not often enough by senior store management. The Zone managers are good at their jobs and support the associates under them as much as they possibly can but are pressured, unfairly, to target those whom fall into disfavor with the store manager. Success is possible for workers as long as they play nicely with store management.
Cons
Management is very demanding and refuses to get down and dirty with the associates. Management would rather make demands and disipline employees for being too busy helping customers making it impossible to work on the demanded work. Virtually zero credit comes from the store manager, even though he gets thousands in bonuses for having a successful year of sales at the store. Those bonuses come off the backs of the associates management steps on every day. The bonus structure need to be reversed. Associates that deal with the customers should be given the bonuses, as they are who lead the store to true success day in and day out.
