4-8hr days. Answer phones, Take care of the cashiers on duty, go home.
Head Cashier (Former Employee), Columbus, OH – May 11, 2013
Pros: having a job and moving up in the store.
Cons: hardly got a lunch or break. had to assist the cashiers first.
Be the first one their to fill the tills with money.
Assign cashiers with lunches and breaks.
Answer the phone at the customer service desk and assist the caller.
If cashier needed an override or needed money, I would assist.
If I needed to help a customer in a dept other than mine, I would.
If there needed to be more cashiers for the busy time, I would – more... find someone to help or assist myself.

I would be lucky if I got a break or lunch.

My co-workers were appreciated. Management was okay.

The hardest part of the job was rushing to one cashier who is at one end of the building to another cashier at the complete opposite end. Took 3+ minutes.

The most enjoyable part of the job was scheduling. – less

Customer Service Associate (Current Employee), Glen Allen, VA – May 11, 2013
I worked in four different departments in two years so i moved around a lot. My co-workers are fun people to be around and work with. The hardest part of the day is around the afternoon time when everybody is out running errands.

Nothing is PERFECT!!
Customer Services Associate (Current Employee), Clinton, MD – May 9, 2013
Pros: fast-paced, learning environment
Cons: pay is just "ok"
Lowes' really tries to foster the "Team Player" atmosphere. Unfortunately......ehhhh.....everybodys' never played a team sport in there life. They don't know what that is?! But once you find the couple of people who are about their work, and have a genuine care about where they work.......stick with them.

Fun place to work, management had good direction
Overnight Supervisor (Former Employee), Citrus Heights, CA – May 9, 2013
Pros: management positive, proffessional and communicated well with staff.
Cons: overnight shift can be difficult and demanding
I enjoyed my time at Lowes, but was only there a few months. Store management had clear direction, positive re-enforcement and communication was good. There was a huge break room to accommodate such a large staff.

Workplace
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), McKinney, TX – May 9, 2013
Cons: poor management
I began working at a Lowes in Mckinney when I first moved to texas, I later transfered to the location in Little Elm. I always did very well in Mckinney, but when I moved to Little Elm I began to have several issues. I was being degraded a lot, down talked, and mistreated. Later on in the year of being at the little elm location, I got pregnant with – more... my daughter, and things took a turn for the worse. They made me stay outside for 6 hours without a bathroom break. They would not let me sit down, even with a note from my doctor. The people I worked with some were great, and some were not so great. I had someone type a nasty hate letter about my pregnancy and put it in a locker. Management didn't take it serious, and eventually caused me to quit my job for my safety and the safety of my daughter. I can't really remember a part that was enjoyable. I can say since I left, the past 3 years there has been completely new staff and ALL new management. There is not 1 manager that is still there when I worked there. – less

Nice place to work for, but Management needs to be trained better
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Temecula, CA – May 8, 2013
Pros: great co-workers
Cons: not long enough hours. only 4 hours per day 4x week
I enjoyed working for Lowe's even though the management team was not too helpful and there was no order to things. I loved the extensive customer contact and issues to be resolved. I greeted everyone in a friendly fashion and helped them solve their problems from showing them where parts were to finding out differences on pricing at the register.

My – more... co-workers were all very nice and we got along very nicely together.

The most enjoyable part of the job were the customers coming in. Most were friendly and happy when their questions were answered.

In the six months that I worked at Lowe's, I was never late and I never missed a day. I loved my job. – less

great place to work, great pay....
Installed Sales Coordinator (Current Employee), Montgomery, AL – May 8, 2013
Pros: great pay, great environment
Cons: scheduling, management
Lowes is definitely a great place to work, especially if your a college student. Pays way more than any minimum wage job you will ever find. As for full time associates, schedules are horrible. If your pay doesn't help out with the bills, it is just too bad. The schedule has no time for you to even think about getting a little part time job to make – more... ends meet. But overall, a good place to work – less

Customers made it fun
Outside Garden Department Manager (Former Employee), Bixby, OK – May 8, 2013
A typical day was watering plants, merchandizing, and talking to customers on what they wanted or how they wanted their garden to look, or explaining what type of fertilizer or ammendments they needed for their soil to make their plants grow.
I learned how to order plants and merchandise them to the apeal of the customer.
The customers was the most – more... enjoyable part, although the company was a good company in my opinion. – less

Lowe's Knows
Credit Coordinator (Former Employee), Galax, VA – May 7, 2013
Pros: stock, 401k, benefits, vac pay, sick pay, job security
Cons: don't pay good, don't protect employees who are being harrassed / threatened.
I enjoyed working for lowes. I was hired right out of high school and i stayed with them from 1999-2007. I originally started out in the Sparta NC store and when it closed down i was transferred to the Galax VA store. I held many titles while i worked there. I was cashier first, then moved to the sales floor in the paint/home decor dept, then i was – more... promoted to the customer service counter, then to Administrative Dept Manager and finally to Credit Coordinator/Commercial Sales Dept. I loved my job there, unfortunately i left b/c of an employee threatening me. The company didn't pay that great, but otherwise was a good place to work – less
