Lowe's Employer Reviews

I was hired as a seasonal employee and requested a maximum of 20 hours a week because I was a full time student. Not only did they ignore my availability by scheduling me for times and days that I had class despite me constantly correcting them, I was also scheduled 30-35 hours a week.

The management was a mess, consistently under scheduling cashiers – more... on busy days. There was a serious lack of communication among the managers as well.

At one point in time I was told I could no longer wear headbands because one of the managers "didn't like them".

The icing on the cake however is due to mistakes made by a store manager. One week I contracted strep, went to the doctor and was told not to return to work for a few days. Immediately following my doctor's visit I went to the store and handed them a note stating this. By the end of the week I was still running a fever so I went back to doctor, recieved a note and called the store TWICE speaking to a manager to explain the situation.
On the Monday when I was well enough to return to work I handed a manager my SECOND doctor's note and even discussed my illness with him. When I tried to clock in I was unable to, same when I tried to login to a register. I brought this issue to the manager who informed me there had been miscommunication with HR and I had accidentally been terminated. He assured me I would be reinstated.
Fast forward two weeks where I still have not been reinstated besides being told multiple times that it would be taken care of. Finally the HR just tells me I need to reapply and even states that the managers I spoke with and handed a doctor's note to are denying that I ever spoke to them. I found this unacceptable. How dare the management of that store lie? I then contacted corporate telling them about my saga with the store.
I recieved a calla few days ago from the HR stating that they would reinstate me.

I am absolutely disgusted that not only was I wrongfully and incorrectly terminated but also that the management seemed to take no responsibility. Even at the time of the phone call with my reinstatement I was asked "if I had called in or given a doctor's note".

DO NOT WORK FOR THESE PEOPLE WHO CLEARLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES. – less

A TYPICAL DAY STARTS WITH A VISIT TO MY LOCKER, TO GET MY VEST. THE LOCKERS ARE IN THE BREAKROOM..... AND SO ARE HALF OF THE STORE EMPLOYEES... "ON BREAK"... AT 6:00 A.M. 3 HOURS LATER WHEN I TAKE A BREAK, GUESS WHO'S IN THE BREAKROOM? YEP, SAME "BREAKERS" AS BEFORE. AND THE DAY GOES ON. MANAGEMENT KNOWS THIS, ALLOWS THIS, AND IT BITES. THEY (MGMT.) – more... BITE. THE MANAGEMENT AT MY STORE WAS SO FREAKIN WEAK. ONE THING THEY DID ENFORCE... SLAVE DRIVING THE FRACTION OF EMPLOYEES THAT WORK. THE BEST PART OF THE JOB IS MY CUSTOMERS. – less

Working at lowes was fun however it can be stressful if you can't handle standing for long periods of time.

Unload trailers and move property to the right departments. How to move property fast and without mistakes. Management was always there to help. May co-workers were very helpful. Is all the heavy lifting you have to do. Working in a big warehouse and using all the different equipment.

Its a very nice place to work at if you like to help customers. The store I worked at was a brand new opening store so it was a very nice experience to help the organization to build up the place, it made it feel like it was your own store.

There was something exciting happening every day. You got to meet a lot of interesting people and I enjoyed helping the customers! I had my hand in each department in some way and I learned a lot.

My typical day at work was keeping very interesting when working with my customer. I handled my customers with respected and dignity. Working as a front-end cashier I've learned to keep calm when a customer is upset and talking to them with a calm tone and acknowledge their upset with trying to resolve the matter before they leave my register and the – more... store. My co-worker can be a little helpful but at times difficulty as well. The hardest time was not be able to provide a customer with a certain product she want, so that was a big challenge for me so I had to think fast. Next, thing I knew I was looking through the store with her and provided her with another and better product and she left satisfied. I considered that the be my enjoyable moment at work. – less
