Lowe's Reviews

I worked at Lowe's full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Competitive benefits package as far as variety and pricing. Investment in technology was a win. Employee self service portals including timekeeping were beneficial.

Cons – Unrealistic expectations by upper management, they need to spend more time actually in the store and less time in their ivory towers. Inconsistent accountability.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Lowe's full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Some of the good reasons are they hire more full time people than does most retail jobs has some good benefits like a 401k and dental

Cons – They don't respect workers not willing to be flexible with schedule they find reasons to fire people in this past year they fired almost half of the front end staff including people who have been there up to 10 years some for being late only a few times even though they said they couldn't even work certain times cause of transpiration issues some for not being friendly enough others for small things and they won't work with you if you have availability issues like can not work certain days or hours cause of other job or familly issues they are all about corporate they even let the store manager go where I was who everyone liked and saw him after he got job at other company and he said how happy he was to be somewhere they appreciate people.

Advice to Senior Management – To all Store Managers, quit micro managing your teams. You put ASM's and DM's in position because you have the most trust in them, right? Sure does not feel like you guys are enabled by your Market Managesr or RVP's to shake hands, kiss babies, and be out in the community. Instead you are spending all day stressing about the next visit and micro-managing processes and people. Loosen up, take a breath, and enjoy what you do!

I have been working at Lowe's full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Lowe's is a good company to work for because if you do your job there is always opportunity to move upward in the company.

Cons – You will always be asked to do things outside of your basic job description, if you want to work for Lowe's you just have to accept the fact that you are going to have to cross train in all of your surrounding departments and be able to multi talk well in order to be successfull in the long term with the company.

Advice to Senior Management – Create a better avenue for employees to give feedback to the corporate office. The big focus of this would be on planagram issues and other merchandise types of concerns that don't always seem to be implemented in the most efficient way from the corporate level. If local stores had a little more flexablity in this area they could taylor the layout and merchandising in their stores more to local demand.
