Why so much stress?
I understand that everyone cares to keep the job until they find another opportunity, but it is already clear that we do not have much influence there, whether we work hard or not. Now I look around at my coworkers, how busy they are, tense, under... — read more

Record profit !!!!
Lowes post record sales and profit !! Stock over $250 a share. Amazing
20% Off
Has there been any word about Lowes employees getting 20% off the first week of December?
I won't do it!
They hire people who don’t even know what they’re doing. This is understandable considering that some of them have no experience. I feel sorry for each of them who came here and I would love to, as much as I can, help everyone get started here... — read more

It is not worth making small changes
Advice from my experience:::: If you intend to leave Lowe's, primarily because you can't stand the workload, it may be better to wait for a much better offer than to accept a slightly better one or not better at all. I was overwhelmed here, I... — read more

It's time for us to get a day or two off in a row.. I taking two sick days off on 12/11 - 12/12/2021. Yes I'm calling in sick both days. I need a rest. I need a weekend off 😞
Pricing Coordinator going too?
Been hearing they have been testing pricing going to the MST. Pricing coordinator posted she was told to start applying for open positions, at her store it officially starts in January. Anybody else hear anything?

Education benefits
How many people are using the education benefits?
Theft
Lowes won't stop the thieves from coming in the stores. They have pictures of them they know who they are. The thieves know no one can stop them from walking out with whatever. Employees try to call management on the zebra and their icon turns red... — read more

If you sell in order and it is outsourced to another store does the employee still get the credit for the sale even if the store doesn’t
So many hiring events
Lowe's is currently holding hiring events left and right. Hmmm, I wonder if that could have anything to do with the fact that they either outright let go of or forced out so many people in the past ten months that now that the holiday season is here... — read more

Nothing will change
There are many of us who don’t think this is a bad company. As long as you can overlook the entire BS and just treat it as a job that you get paid for. I know there are a few who come here to vent and it’s actually understandable. But for those who... — read more

In case some are wondering why so many people are leaving Lowe's to join our main competitor: Home Depot is among the best 25 employers in the world. Lowe's is nowhere near the top 100. The fact that it even made the top 200 (barely) is shocking in... — read more

I hate what our stores look like
It’s hard to put into words how bad my store looks. I don't think it ever looked worse. I understand that they see everything as an "unnecessary expense", but really... maybe we should consider the look of the remaining stores? It is horrible to work... — read more

I worked at Lowe’s for 5 months and after gaining some experience, I found a new job. Here I was subjected to extreme micromanagement, in the beginning there were a lot of objections to my work because supposedly “I didn’t know anything about that... — read more
AP4Me
Make sure you do AP4Me and pick out an outfit for your own Starman. It’s the most professional thing you will do at Lowe’s. After all, corporate treats us like mo--ns.
