Lowe's Companies benefits

Flexible Days,& hours for partime workers as it should be at the pay rate.This is my 1rst time in retail it sucks for all the work they ask of you Especially in the Receiving &Delivery Depts.

What do you like best about Lowe's Companies's CEO and the leadership team?

Dont no much about either to busy pulling 9to10 orders aday needs to be a cutoff or a night team to help complete these orders

How would you improve Lowe's Companies's culture?

How did you prepare for the Lowe's Companies interview?

Shirt and Tie and being punctual

Im in does not match for the tasks on a daily basis that are asked of me i did 32yrs in the P.O. so i no all about hard work.

Pros of working at Lowe's Companies

Great insurance, good parking spots, the lockers hold your stuff, the toilets flush.. sometimes

Cons of working at Lowe's Companies

Management will lie, twist your arm, and blatantly disrespect you in front of peers, customers, and even corporate. The customers expect you to be an absolute genius on every single item in the store. Store managements and even corporate says that a “significant increase” in pay for switching to a much more labor intensive position where you give up a great schedule, weekends, and holidays off is a massive twenty five cents. Then tell you you’re above the position average and will not be receiving any additional pay for at least two years. When so many forms and people you’ve talked to said the position STARTS at .50 less then what you took a “raise” for.

Lowe's Companies benefits

Insurance is good, get an hour for lunch,

What do you like best about Lowe's Companies's CEO and the leadership team?

There’s something to like? All the do is brag about how sales are through the roof and say we haven’t met sales so we aren’t getting a bonus this quarter. (Its only $300 if sales are met) and how the store made $200k in a day

How would you improve Lowe's Companies's culture?

Jfc listen. The people on the floor know what we are doing, just because you started as a manager at this company 20 years ago doesn’t mean you have what it takes to get down and dirty like the slaves you call employees

How did you prepare for the Lowe's Companies interview?

Don’t. Just don’t. The “flexible schedule” they tell you about doesn’t tell you that you will be working 11a-9p one day and 5a-2p next, and if you complain about it, they will put you on part time and still schedule you one day 4p-9p and the next 6a-10a and that’s if you’re lucky. Most times you’ll get one day a week and it’s only four hours.

Pros of working at Lowe's Companies

it is hard finding good people to work with. Allot of people come in and don’t expect to do anything and still expect to get paid. Once you find good workers the job is great.

What do you like best about Lowe's Companies's CEO and the leadership team?

Listen to what is going on. Learn the process. Just because you have been there before dosnt mean it dosnt change. STOP picking you friends for management and support the DS’s that need the help.

How did you prepare for the Lowe's Companies interview?

Write anything that is promised down. If it’s not on paper and signed by the interviewer then it will not happen.
