Are any other markets having unannounced visits by corporate folks? Managers and ASMs are frantic in trying to get the stores cleaned up. Already heads have rolled in market 850. Good times!

Think of ten names for coworkers you admire for their work ethic. How many have left Lowe’s? You will immediately understand what corporate is missing and will never get.

Anyone have a clue what the actual policy is? How many call ins, lates, etc before documentation? And steps between each before final etc?

I’m not cheering for bad things to happen to Lowe’s but if they truly want better customer interactions and sales then they need to hire and keep good people. We were once one of the most popular employers because we paid our associate well and... — read more 

This is a dangerous game. The efforts of the leadership are not bearing fruit. How soon will the company need to implement aggressive cost-cutting and perform mass layoffs? Hope I’m wrong, but everything tells me that this is going to be the scenario... — read more 

Hey Marvin, better get to what you do best, a cuttin' and a firin' . Lowes stock is going down not up. Capping employee 401k contributions at 25% didn't help, eh?

Yesterday I read a mother’s day comment on here that was a parody of the haves and have not themes similar to the Scrooge theme of Dickens. It made me laugh. It poked fun at Marv for the recent layoffs of LP and PSI. Today the thread is deleted. I... — read more 

See a lot of unsatisfied customers. I fact, haven’t seen a lot of satisfied ones for a while. How far are we from a point when the loyal customers that are the backbone of our sales totally give up on Lowe’s? Of course, this question stands assuming... — read more 

As my pro supervisor ripped apart the pro area and threw away all samples, books, and necessary items to make sales as per district managers orders, customers were coming up to the desk and ignored! One couple asked to see Trex samples, and as the... — read more

He has made it so the success of the company no longer equals success for the employees who made it possible. Company is done for now. No troops; no army.

Market teams are turds in the toilet that need to be flushed. Just what do they do anyway? Wasted payroll! Lowes gets rid of the PSI, and still has a “District Sales Mgr”? The PSEs can be managed at the store level. District Service? Really? Your... — read more 

Isn't it funny watching these market directors that have no idea what they are doing flood stores with tasking when they should be driving sales.

When are Marvin, Joe, and drunk Billy B going to realize that the LTR program mainly consists of store associates filling out the surveys from receipts that customers left behind. I’m willing to be 60% of the results are entered by associates lol... — read more 

What’s the scoop on PRO? Working weekends?

It appears there are openings for some in-store loss prevention again. However, the job code is listed as customer greeter so I am only assuming your putting yourself at risk for pennies on the dollar. What a joke of a company

implementing CPO....." you guys will love it, SELL IT AND FORGET IT" everything else will be handled by CPO. .......LIE implementing CDO..... "this will make things so much easier, all delivery issues will be handled by them"......LIE customer... — read more 

Since it is a Monday it was time for the inanely stupid manager meeting. Following the terrible Lowedown where Joe and Bill literally say bringing in "money money money!!!" we got to talking about the pressing issues for the week and the notes from... — read more 

I see and talk to far more dissatisfied customers that the ones that have something good to say about Lowe’s lately. On the other hand I hear the leadership say that all of these shifts and changes are made in order to become more customer based... — read more 

As in life the strong will survive. Lowe’s sells an inferior product with poor follow up at most of its stores. I’ve been working with family and friends since I left Lowe’s. I have a connection selling high and end millworks products and have met... — read more 

It’s been awhile since I heard any new “brilliant” ideas from Marvin and his team. Are they really quieting down? Kind of strange. Is it possible that they are slowly but surely realizing that their strategy is failing?

At some point we need to realize Lowe's will not be able to keep it's doors open by selling drills and screwdrivers. No matter how pretty the stores are. These items can be purchased online at many locations and at a cheaper price. That leaves the... — read more 

Not asking for names on here or anything but how many 40 hr lp’s would join a class action for pay discrimination? Equal work equal pay. Same job description same work requirements just 8 hours less to get the same expectations completed.

When you think Lowe's greatness you naturally remember Larry Stone. When he hung up his red vest Lowe's became a Wall Street chip. Niblock and Ellison just play to the stock, jeez they can't even change a light bulb. Larry was tough, he loved... — read more 

Why I don’t approve of what’s being done with Lowe’s, if you look at discussion boards of other companies 9n the business on this site you will find, more or less, the same topic and ;people complaining about the same problems. So, my take is that... — read more 

I walked into the Lowes in Missoula Montana as we were passing through and needed some items on our way to the coast. We’ve been to that store many times on our trip as it is close to the interstate. This time no help at all. I couldn’t find anyone... — read more 

Lowe’s is very quickly moving from “Good” to “Goodbye”. The ship is listing, and many experienced employees are jumping off. The tenured associates are treated as a liability, not an asset. The Turtle is steering this ship straight into a giant... — read more

I’m in one of the markets where we’ve implemented the new scheduling system. I’ve been with the company for nearly ten years and I’ve never seen anything like this. The upper management has been told not to touch the schedules except for minor... — read more 

Hey Marv, Just because you threw away Billions of dollars a year in sales away by eliminating PSI instead of fixing it is on you. You can’t recover it with PSE, Credit, and Cabinet Installs!!!! It’s all a joke...

Where’s all this help at that you said was being hired?!?! There are NO Cashiers, No Loaders, No CSA’s to help customers!!! Our store management said they were told to CUT 300 hours per week here in Ohio. Is this how you WIN Spring and Go From Good... — read more 

If you quit before finding a new position that offers medical, what are the best options for health insurance? What are people who need coverage doing these days?

specifically on racial discrimination and harassment charges against lowes white marsh management. Heard this from the people who are involved

I hope majority of people feel like this latest move is the last straw and decide to quit. There are plenty of available jobs in retail. People have options. Imagine how great it would be if those who made these decisions woke up one of these days to... — read more
