Most companies have a waiting period before employees are eligible for insurance coverage, but part-time, non-seasonal Lowe's workers can enroll in health care and life insurance plans the day they're hired. After six months, part-timers can begin taking vacation time and participating in the Lowe's 401(k) and stock purchase plans. The company also offers educational and enrichment benefits such as corporate training, discounted online university programs and tuition reimbursement.
