This question is about Lowe's Companies.
Employee orientation at Lowe's should last no more than two days. In most cases, employee orientation takes place over a single eight-hour day but may be spread out into two sessions of four hours each.
In either case, it is recommended that you bring food and refreshments as the day will include numerous films and a significant amount of paperwork.
Lowe's employees are paid their usual wage during orientation and training sessions. Lowe's will also reimburse employee training expenses and offer additional vocational training through Lowe's University.
Lowe's will usually supply you with a list of what to bring to your orientation; however, you should plan to bring:
Your identification card
Your driver's license or state identification card
Your birth certificate or social security card
Your payment/direct deposit information
At the Lowe's orientation, you will be given a tour of the store to familiarize yourself with the location of all of the departments as well as fire exits and alarms. The actual training session will consist of online work and videos.
Lowe's training is based on a front-line first philosophy which means they will provide their employees with everything they need to be successful on the sales floor.
There is usually an additional orientation that will take place based on the department that you are placed in. The duration of this orientation process will be determined by HR and the department's preferences and usually takes place within two weeks of your employee orientation session.
