It was a good position, and it was great to learn how a Lowe's store is ran. I met some very interesting people along the way and the job is fairly easy for the good hourly wage.
What I wish was different
Variation of the job and a little bit more training. Especially if you are not familiar with a lot of building materials, there is a small learning curve.
Advice
Sometimes you need a nice job on the side that will pay the bills. Lowe's cashier positions offer a good hourly wage and plenty of hours to accommodate individuals who want a higher inflow of cash.
