How many bad surveys a day does your store have?
My store is getting 2-3 terrible surveys a day.... no help, not enough cashiers, dead plants, damaged product on deliveries. Does upper management even read them? I'm wondering the same thing, does upper management read all these bad surveys and... — read more

How seriously do you take your job here?
There are many reasons why I can’t take the job here seriously. Since this company does not take its employees seriously, who are just a number to them, how can I take the business here seriously and this company? Though I think Lowe's doesn't... — read more
They give power to the worst people?
There is a lot of work and daily stress is inevitable, but I love this job and it would all be easier to bear if I had at least a little more reasonable store manager. They just didn't need to give that man any power!!! I intend to give a notice, and... — read more
Don’t do it!
I wish I had never applied at this company. I’m looking for another job and as soon as I have one I’m putting in my notice. All the posts here are true and the only thing keeping me here is the fact that I am able to keep up with my bills. This is... — read more

Delivery Has Turned into a Joke
Third party delivered my friend a side by side refrigerator this past weekend. A total nightmare. She said two guys came to her door and the way they acted was like ‘d-mb and d-mber’. One was a painter that was just trying to pick up some extra... — read more
Marv and the hedge fund
Hope someone at the SEC is keeping an eye on Lowes stocks. Sooner or later the bubble Marv created will burst. When Marv is done shredding the company and driving the customers away, profits will drop and they will all want to dump their stocks... — read more
Here is a good one
Sent my son to Lowe’s to get a chain saw, bar oil and 2 cycle oil additive. I said ask someone who works there they will hook you up with the right products. Nope he stood around for 45 mins waiting for someone to help. Then the kid who looked high... — read more

Even those with more privileges don't seem to like working here?
My job at Lowe's has been reduced to counting how many days are left until the next non-working day, which passes so quickly that I can't even get enough rest. I don’t remember the last time I had a slightly more relaxed day here. I hope to find a... — read more
lowes
its going down the tubes
PSE
PSE thinks specialists should handle his f-ups, complaints and replacement parts orders because “he doesn’t have a co-ordinator”. Give me a break! As a Millwork Specialist without a CSA in the department, and a do-nothing Dept Mgr, I make half the... — read more
Resignation then coming back
Does Lowe’s still have the policy where if you leave and then come back within 6 months you still retain your years of service for vacation time etc?
They have no motivation or simply don't know how to do it?
I don't plan to stay here for long, but I'm still interested in how it is possible that corporate neglects so much those on whom this company really "stands". Good employees - good company. Bad employees or no employees - bad company or no... — read more
Customers leaving
I totally understand customers who decide to go somewhere else. I just wonder how many long-term and loyal customers this company loses on a monthly basis? Loyalty and customer relationship are built over the years, but it takes very little for... — read more
It's not just about the retail industry
Why do some justify Lowe's under the guise that the world of retail is difficult and not for everyone? I have worked in several retail companies and I can say with certainty that it is true, retail is difficult, but there are companies in which... — read more
Hot
Lowe’s keeps the stores way too hot. Customers complain, and they aren’t working in this heat fir eight hours. Mustn’t run the energy too high!

Layoff news?
Is there any information? I haven't heard anything myself.
Lowe's is toxic
Why does Lowe's management think it's okay to treat employees like trash and to belittle them at every turn? No person should have to go through the treatment we undergo here daily. This place is toxic. No matter how hard you work, you will still be... — read more
What would it take for you to stay?
At this point, nothing could keep me here anymore, not even a few dollars more. Why, because I'm sure if I got more money I would have to work under more pressure, and even now that pressure is unbearable. I have been experiencing different types... — read more
Short-sightedness
Why does management get a pass for everything but we have to be flexible and do what’s needed because of mistakes with staffing? Why can’t management be the flexible ones? Why can’t we hire managers who are not short sighted and will staff... — read more
Memorial Day weekend blocked out for vacation
They do this every year but this year they had three managers off for vacation, why should they get an exception while preaching to the associates that any day's requested off over the holiday weekend will be denied?

Stock market up but Lowe's down $25 a share
Stock market at the same point as a month ago but Lowe's stock down $25 a share....essentially 12%. I wonder why.
Then and now
When I worked for Lowe’s I was so consumed with work that I became constantly fatigued. Any interests I had outside of work fell to the wayside including family and friends. I was always angry or moody because of how much was expected from me to be... — read more

1 week in as a department manager ~~
I took the job, a little more $ than as a specialist. And after 1 week, not one person has given me any guidance of any kind. Not the store manager, no ASM ...no one.. Just clock in and go.... This origination is in shambles, to say the least. — read more
Memorial Day Sales
Customers ask “What’s your big promotions for Memorial Day”? I say, “Not much, we are out of everything!” or “You can buy two appliances and only receive one damaged”. “Check out our extensive Scratch and Dent Third Party promotions!”
Delivery
Third party delivery is terrible. A real cluster f*ck. Who thought this would work?
Delivery
Third Party Delivery: the last impression of the Lowe’s experience that is left for the customer to witness. A complete and utter disgrace. No matter what kind of service, expertise or professionalism we might give the customer in the store, it is... — read more
Stock price is artificially inflated
Keep in mind Lowe's has invested over 35 billion in stock buyback. Sounds like a elevated stock price to me. When a company has to invest that much money to buy they're stock back there is a red flag somewhere. Exactly! The stock price did not... — read more
