Lowe's Employer Reviews

Decent pay and benefits. Management has something to learn.

Lowes is retail warehouse style store, specializing in building materials. I started my career at Lowes as a building materials loader. This job would be considered the ground floor.Within my first year I was able to work hard and move my way up to an Assistant department Manager in the Lumbar and Millwork departments . As my career progressed I then – more... moved up to what Lowes calls a Sales Specialist. As a Sales Specialist I was responsible for selling the products the Lowes offered. I would place orders, design projects, manage client lists, make sales calls, and more. The hardest part about this job was keeping every client as happy as possible. With items being shipped from one place to another, there would be delays from time to time. This would could sometimes cause and entire project to come to a halt. For the most part the entire job was very enjoyable. Getting to meat new people all the time, hitting my sales quota for the month, and being able to solve problems were all aspects of the job that I enjoyed. – less

Because I'm female I was talked to like I didn't know anything. It's not body friendly standing on concrete all day but it wasn't the worst job I've ever had.

Customer service associate
Started this position with the outside lawn and garden department. The duties assigned were loading vehicles with any type of outdoor landscaping materials. Gained a basic knowledge of plants and trees. Within a few months was promoted to work inside with the indoor lawn and garden department. There was a lot to do in this – more... department. The responsibility at hand included learning and selling any type of lawn machines, outdoor furniture and garden tools. Also, had to have basic sales experience. – less

Everything very good about this company. i have worked in several stores and all have been great to me.

In my opinion, this was a good first job. I felt that the store that I worked at lacked some communication skills, but most of my fellow co workers were very friendly. I also felt that the customers were a lot more willing to teach me about what they do and teach me what things were used for. That made me look forward to going into work each day.

Our store manager was straight out of school had no experience with how to run a store which made it hard for not only the employees but the customers as well

Misleading about the amount of hours promised versus amount given.

WORKED WITH CONTRACTORS ALL DAY LONG,AND ALSO CALLLED ON CUSTOMERS,ALL DAY LONG MEETING NEW ACCOUNTS EVERY DAY,GREAT CO-WORKERS,MAKING SURE CUSTOMER WAS HAPPY

Enjoying the system easy to work with, the enjoyable part of my job would be helping customers, feeling very confident with providing great customer service. Co-workers have real integrity, and very helpful as a part of the team.

Lowe's is an ok company to work at depending on who's managing the store you're and the people you work with. The customers can get really rude and sometimes they feel as if the workers there are obsolete. Very frustrating around holidays just like any other department store.

overall atmospheer was awesome... good people, good customers fun job!

It was a good part time job for a retiree for a while. It seems
that if you can't be as strong as a 20 year old well
you lose your job and benefits. Lowe's should take
a SERIOUS look at their " managers"and the way they
treat their employees.

I learn how to manage the cash register and point of sale system in a timely matter, I would complete my daily tasks everyday, management was great and respectful as well as the fellow co-workers. We all worked as a team group to get work done and satisfy customers.

My work day was loading customer's merchandise into their vehicles and using the cash register.

Working at this company I learned about different tools and woods for many different projects.

Management was very helpful and caring.

My co-workers always was willing to help another in need.

The hardest part of my job would have to be getting shopping – more... carts out the pouring rain.

The most enjoyable part of my job would have to be helping people. – less

This was their motto to customers. But it can easily be used by its employees. A great, friendly, work environment!

This was a seasonal position. I worked outside and inside at times. In the beginning I received full time hours but then was cut due to season change. I didn't really get much opportunity to work any other department on unscheduled days.

Working here is good enough. They treat you fine and it's pretty much exactly how you would expect it to be. You only get one weekend a month working full time. The shift schedule is all over the place, which makes it hard to have much of a life.
