They have 2 people that interview you at the same time. They both pretty much ask you the same questions but want different answers. They don't call you back for weeks to let you know you got the job, which is after you have interviewed and got hired somewhere else. Need different and more effective policies in interviewing.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 3 weeks)

I receive a call stating they wanted to bring me in for an interview. I had a week to prepare. The interview was conducted in the store and the Area HR manager on the phone. The area HR manager provided a detail overview of the job. I was then asked to provide an overview of my career and experience. After that they proceeded to take turns asking me the standard interview questions. Some of the questions they asked were:
Why Lowes?
What was the hardest personnel decision you had to make?
What would you consider your most significant accomplishment?
How would you handle a workplace conflict between a boss and his subordinate?
How did you persuade someone to your side?
How do you deal with tough situations?
What commitment you couldn't achieve and why?
What has been the biggest challenge of your career?

They provide me with plenty of time to ask questions. They told me they had a few more people to interview and would be making their decision within a week. 3 weeks later I recieved an email stating I didn't recieve the position.

They were professional and I felt the interview process went as it should.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Belle Vernon, PA (took a day)

I was contacted by the HR Manager to see if I was still interested in the position I applied for and if so when could an interview be scheduled. The HR Manager gave me two dates to choose from when I could come in and we both agreed upon a time. She indicated that the interview would take about 45 minutes. I arrived 15 minutes before my scheduled time. I was interviewed by the HR Manager and the Store Manager in which they took turns asking me questions.
