Applied for an ASM position on line and was called back the following week for an interview. Interview went well with typical behavioral questions. Met with the HR and Store Manager with 8 questions being asked. Near the end of the interview, I was informed that there was another ASM position that they were looking to fill and that I would be considered for that one. The position was posted and I re-applied. I had called the store back at the end of the application deadline and found out that I was one of three being considered for the position. I was called back and offered the position but it was $20K below what I was currently making (which was included in my application). I offered the Store Manager additiional information about my background and experience that justified my current salary and he said he would see what he could do with HR. Never heard back from him and found out three weeks later that my application was no longer being considered by reviewing my application status. No phone call or email...very unprofessional experience.

I had 2 interviews. First interview with the Lowe's recruiter and she was super and in the end explained that she would assist/be an advocate to get me close to the annual salary I desired. She forwarded me to the SSM for an in person interview at the store. He gave a really fair and hard question interview. He took the time to get to know my style of leadership and welcomed ideas that I shared with him in my past positions. I got an offer and I asked both SSM and recruiter if we could get closer to my desired annual salary. Both were gracious and forwarded my counteroffer to higher powers at be. Painless negotiation and in the end, I accepted their final offer, they met me 97% of what I asked for and the ability to bonus 2 times a year has me way over my compensation. I am excited to become a part of the Lowe's family.
