I know at the store I work in is going to all or more self checkouts .... So why are they still hiring cashiers. Hiring just to lay people off ?????

We all have better things to do right? Gonna be dead in the store anyway.

Perhaps the stores would function much better if there were people in managerial positions who are actually interested in their work!? My store is terribly disorganized, but the boss just ignores it as if it isn't his job at all.

In spite of all the smoke and mirrors, Store sales have tanked. Hiring is basically non-existent, associate hours are being slashed, and customer traffic is mostly dead. If you’re FT get ready to be cut. If you’re PT you’ll be lucky to get 4 hours a... — read more 

I work in district 1282 and all I do is get ready for pictures for the 1mbec1les in upper management. It’s all that matters. They don’t give a g0d d@mn about the middle of the store that’s filthy, under staffed and disorganized, they only care about... — read more 

Isn't it better to look for a better paying job somewhere else than to hope in vain that you will be paid a little better here?

Media not covering an employee death in store 646 Staunton Va

I literally cannot describe how big a mess our store is. The boss has a huge ego and of course he will never admit that the store is in a desperate state, because that would mean admitting to himself that he doesn't know how to do his job. ... — read more 

We don't have enough employees and our customer service has plummeted. People are fed up and won't take it anymore. If we keep treating them poorly, they'll take their business elsewhere. Customers deserve better and they won't hesitate to show it... — read more 

The country is in a recession not officially yet but it is. Look at Amazon and all these tech companies laying off. Housing market is way down. The stocks and GDP are worse than 2008. Get ready

Who's using Install Partners at their store and do they suck as bad as at my store?

Great news dog-loving Lowes employees. Over 260 Lowes stores are slated to feature Petco store-in-store sections with pet supplies, vaccination clinics, and more. What's next, miniature Westminster Dog Shows, akin to the movie 'Best In Show'... — read more 

You folks chime in, Lowes IS closed on Easter! Home Depot is NOT. Looking forward to ur comments. Oh, are u being paid?? / God bless.

Six weeks ago I applied and had an interview, asm said I need to see where the greatest needs are and I’ll call you back. I call bullsh-t on this. Calls haven’t been returned. I start at Home Depot next week.

Firing hardworking people who were doing their jobs or making the atmosphere so miserable that such people leave on their own, and on the other hand hiring disinterested people who don't take their jobs seriously at all. That can't possibly turn... — read more 

Place is Emptry, 2 people on morning freight, rest quit last week, boxes ALL Over the place. City of Tampa

I do not know if it's just the Lowes I work at but when a CSA becomes a ASM they all of a sudden stop knowing how to work,learn how to hide and always never have a answer to problems you have in the store.And also they know the struggles that happen... — read more 

We are being told to hold hours down with the exception for OSLG on weekends. WTF…should we not hire anyone for the store for spring? Are we the victims of the global warming shift, or is this the plan for summer. It is a 3 week turn around from hire... — read more 

How is the specialist bonus program going? What kind of payouts are people getting? Do the SPH targets make sense?

I’ve heard rumblings of layoffs today. Anyone know which groups were impacted? Hold on tight everyone..

Management is getting ridiculous with their unrealistic expectations. Do they really think that people here have no other options than to accept doing multiple workloads? I think they were very wrong in that assessment.

Can someone please tell me why corporate cares more about how clean the bullpen needs to be instead of worrying about all the freight that doesn't get stocked or doing things to help employees in their departments

Lowe’s plans a negative comp for the year… good by stock value.

Yes its become that bad. The powertripping dog trainers/owners take priority over everything now. Let's just have all the breeds assemble and our store manager can judge them. What is going on Blowes?

More brilliance from Melvin and the Melvettes. 1 person is now supposed to be able to cover 8 - 10 SCO machines by themself.

Is the Sales Specialists bonus going away ? Changing ? No information at my store .

Happens every year. Moving to floor/office blend , like cash office.

The new commercial brags about having pros in store to help in every department. Um - say what? We stopped incentivizing any sales folks with any real commission or spiffs, are grossly understaffed. No one is coming to us for true advice. why are... — read more 

IHCs will now be paid differently. Wondering everyone's thoughts as to if this is good or bad?

You can't keep the company running if you have no tenured help. Go to a Lowe's store and see how many people are still there that have 5+ years experience. If customers are fine with that, they go to Home Depot. It would be interesting to... — read more 

The pre-marvin Lowes is never going to comeback. That ship has sailed and the gravy train is over due to hedge funds controlling the board. You're never going to ever make a livable income as a CSA so if you don't have ambitions to be a... — read more 

The last few years at Lowes have been difficult, to say the least. When I worked for other retailers, their definition of leaders was true to their word. At Lowes, the CEO talks about leadership but he is so wrong. Leaders build character, train... — read more

No raises ,much less hiring .Job postings way ,way down .Empty stores ,with 1 associate closing till 11 pm or later ,covering plumbing ,Electrical ,home decor ,carts and Millwork .

Corporate is giving a discretionary bonus. Wonder what they take to pay for it. Payroll? Positions? Specialist Bonus? They never give without taking something. Melvin should not be trusted.
