Lowe's Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Lowe's full-time for more than a year

Pros – Decent amount of pay, not too stressful of a job, great environment as to co-workers.

Cons – They will not hire full time most of the time, and if you even do the slightest thing to make your assistant manager mad they will cut your hours. The corporate survey means nothing, and nothing changes when you say what is going on inside the store. So if you really have to stay there I would never advise it. They fire people left and right without reason. The store manager also hasn't even introduced himself to some of the employees who have worked their for years.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop being so passive aggressive, get more organized and look at the store as a whole.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Lowe's part-time for more than a year

Pros – Sometimes you get to go outside. Usually that's to collect carts from the parking lot. You can really take your time with that.

Cons – The pay is low, the benefits are not good and are expensive, there's a total lack of training and lack of advancement possibilities. Sometimes it can be dangerous lifting heavy objects around.

Advice to Senior Management – Invest in your employees. It'll make you money in the long run.

Current Employee – been working at Lowe's full-time for less than a year

Pros – Most of the customers are nice, fun people to help.

Cons – Too much corporate mumbo jumbo with all the silly "Blueprints for success" and other nonsense that does not actually help customers. The culture is to sell sell sell - it doesn't matter what you sell, as long as you are selling. Lazy is rewarded. Management is generally incompetent and only worried about pleasing the person directly above them. It's sad, to be honest.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop acting like this is the U.S. Army. Throwing warm bodies at a problem does not solve it. We don't have the budget or resources for this. Get back to basics: Excellent customer service, know your product, work hard, do good work. If we do this, we will be the best. As we are, we suck.

Former Employee – worked at Lowe's full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Steady pay some of the people are nice. 3 twelves a week. then you can forget that place for the rest.

Cons – Work Environment, Management, High turnover rate, High rates of Favoritism and Nepotism but just with the friends of the managers and supervisors. Half the work force will stab you in the back to get Ahead or just to look good for the management trick is you will never know what half it is at any given time.
Black box work Performance system,never expect your daily performance numbers to make any sense the supervisors have no clue how the system works management could care less as long as it gets more work out of you before they fire you, the engineers that come up with the numbers are employed by Lowe's.
They also have a new safety program in place were as were as if you even drop a box from 6in off the ground and some one reports you you could be fired. So don't expect to be employed long there and always be on guard and looking over your Shoulder if you do plan on being employed there any length of time.

Advice to Senior Management – They won't listen anyway.
