Pros
Working in the outdoors with plants and plant lovers. Learning about all of the flowers,trees and shrubs. First pick of the discounted distressed plants.
Cons
I loved the job until going into my third season. In orientation they have you sign a document that states if you work four hours or less YOU DON'T GET PAID. So I understand this saves them from people who do the orientation and don't come back and work. So here's what happened to me. I did the orientation and then they later decided to not use me, and I am assuming that Lowe's cut the hours seeing as they are laying off more of their employees. So I sat in a class for 3 hours and worked in the garden center for an hour in the cold rain. They were adamant that they were not going to pay me because of this. Before this in the previous season they had seemingly lost all of their lead merchandisers. Mainly because you don't really get paid much more and put up with more.
