Lowe's Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I have been with the company for almost a year. I am good at what I do; I'm courteous, knowledgeable, and patient with customers. That being said, I am not patient with the management. for almost two months of every year they roll back everyone's hours, right after the holidays when budgets are tight. They claim its because of the average of customers in the store in years gone by, but I have never worked busier shifts. When I do work it is alone (The associate in the shift before me buts up against my hours but never overlaps). That leaves me anywhere between 5-9 hours alone in two departments (I'm back and forth between mixing paint and cutting and special ordering blinds.) Coming up I have a 7 day off streak, they are giving my hours to one of the full time associates not in my departments. I have tried on several occasions to apply for part or full time work, but instead of hiring full time they hire peak (cheaper because they don't get benefits and can be fired or worked to their max without repercussions). All of my managers "hear" me when I point out the flaws, but they never act. I was also supposed to receive retro-active pay for an overnight stint I worked, but after I'd finished the work they told me no, wouldn't tell me before knowing I wouldn't do the work. Lowe's only interest is in working the cheap workers as hard and fast as they can to maximize profits for their shareholders, no care is given to employees or customers unless it directly benefits the holders."

"I have worked four years with this company. The people I work with are great as well as the management team. However the amount of pressure from corporate to make customers the main focus while doing all your tasks and keep sales numbers up is tremendous. It is not worth the pay. Looking for a new job."

"Lowes, overall, was not a bad place to work when one considers the nice folks who work there, the customers and the pay rate. What is not good is the crazy schedule of nights, early mornings, weekends, holidays and lack of flexibility in the schedule even if changes with fellow employees are possible. Not only possible, but the schedule changes would benefit both employees involved as well as assuring coverage on the floor. A very odd way of running a business."

"Not bad if you are willing to work hard and have change constantly."

"Lowe's is a good company to work for and I liked the people."

"Way more stressful than it needs to be. Management seems to have "favorites"."

"It was a great experience to learn something completely new."

"Lowe's is a fair company to work with. They have been understanding of my class schedule as a college student and have demonstrated flexibility in creating schedules."

"I worked for Lowe's 5 years, and the company has good benefits for part and full time employees. It's hard to move up because management is all about who their friends are. If you're not their friend you most likely won't move up in the company."

"Worked for Lowe's for 18 years."
