I would highly suggest reconsidering working for such an unethical company.

Is there anybody here who can identify anything positive to come out of all the changes that have been implemented in the past year? Anything that you could point to and say, yes this is much better and it's made us a better organization than we were... — read more 

I have worked for Lowe’s for many years now and I have never seen morale this bad. In my store we are so under staffed it’s ridiculous. People keep quitting or disappearing without even bothering to give notice. We are all micromanaged to such a... — read more 

This week's CEO pod cast has Marv doing a Math lesson about gross margin. Only problem is his math is totally wrong. No wonder we are losing money. If you buy something for $5 and sell it for $7.50 thats a 33% gross margin not 50%. I wonder what... — read more 

Lowe's "leaders"pretend to be a customer and sandbag as many random unsuspecting associates as available and if they donot say "hello" then they are summarily fired in the next few days.

Went to buy a fan in Indiana store yesterday. Took 15 minutes to find the fans. The aisle labeled fans had no fans. They were one aisle over in an aisle without any similar items. Sign for that was grill parts. I asked the first employee available... — read more

I believe Lowes will turn Pse in Depot 2.0...why not when we have done that to everything else. Pse has been a very successful program, but hey why stop copying now Marv? Oh God Bless.

Feels like we are now trying to determine just how low we can go... I hope other stores are doing better...

Post anything truthful. Obvious or negative about policy and it’s going to get pulled. Post something inane and you’re all good. It’s like Lowes board has an internet maintenance committee.

it will all be o.k.when INNOVEL takes over their distribution. customer service will improve. sales will go up. everything up up up

GO ASK ABOUT UR DISCRETIONARY BONUS...NO MORE RAISES OVER 13.75

Marvin and co, the reason we underperform is due to lack of help in stores...and what help we have is overburdened with unreasonable tasks and jobs expectations. But hey, do more with less is your motto.
