I'd be curious if anyone has ever had repercussions with a non compete clause. How would Lowe's know you are employed somewhere else? I'd really like to know this as well. Is there a way for them to find out?

2019 will be the first year of the Ellison cuts and changes. This year will either make or break Ellison and his buddies he surrounded himself with at corporate. I predict his plans will fail abysmally. What’s your opinion???

If this wasn’t so tragic I would find it funny. A lot of companies lay off their longtime employees, but I haven’t seen any that have the nerve to advertise that they are some sort of pioneers or leaders in hiring at the same time.

Someone says sales specialists will be gone by end of 2019 because of the false that all customers research everything before they come into the store. It is the opposite here because many of the customers do not research anything online. Also, in... — read more

I'm thinking of putting in for one of the merchandising jobs for the set schedule but was wondering if anyone knew the pay range of the position?

Just curious, but Lowes provides tuition reinbersment. So how is someone supposed to attend school and not have a set schedule? This makes no sense at all. I guess I'll have to provide my professors with this info. Lmao
