Field Service Representative (Current Employee), Pompano Beach, FL – March 23, 2013
I'm a vendor I work Monday through Friday, 40 hours a week. I choose each store that I will go to the week before so I know what area I will be going to each day. My everyday routine is going into a Lowe's home improvement store because that's who I only service and basically down stock and zone only the areas of the companies products. I carry with – more... me a device or PDA that gives me surveys for each store that I follow. It basically is a To Do list so you know how you would plan your day out. I'm responsible for cycle counting, resets and ordering the product so that the shelves are customer shop-able. Everyday there is something new because every store is kept up different. Its a position that is left up to you to get the job done but you do need the help and team work of the Lowe's associates to keep up the displays. I would say the hardest part of the job is just getting the associates to keep up with putting the product away and having the shelves look full, if the shelves look empty and no product to be bought both the store and my company lose out. This is where the customer will either leave frustrated or go to a store competitor. The most that I enjoy about this job is the different people I meet everyday and different areas I visit. There's always something new and a different challenge to over come. Everyday is a challenge and the great part is figuring it out, solving it and the end result completing it all put together. I love when you take a before picture and after seeing what hard work you put into the display and how it looks after your done that's my day to day job. – less
ORDER PROCESSOR (Current Employee), Cincinnati, OH – April 15, 2013
Pros: incentives
Cons: under paid wages and 1 break during an 8 hour day.
My work day is very productive. I able to make my weekly numbers and get my incentives. Management tries to work with most people. Co-workers are helpful and friendly. The hardest part of my job is making numbers on the 2nd floor.
Cycle Counter (Current Employee), Forest Park, OH – March 31, 2013
Pros: i only work monday through friday
Cons: accountability within the company
A typical day at work involves me counting multiple locations and items throughout the facility. I've learned about inventory. Management is involved in day to day operations. My co-workers are easy to get along with. The hardest part of my job getting up early in the morning. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing issues corrected with inventory – more... and knowing you were a part of that process. – less

Working on line picking and packing orders Enjoyed the job but sometime hard on the body.Also incentive bonuses.Which made everyones jobs hard at time because alot of people out for the money .And the money would be had in certain areas.
Order Picker (Former Employee), Cincinnati, OH – July 23, 2012
On a typical day at work we would fill many orders then send the boxes down the conveyer belt for them to be checked by quality control then get shipped out. what ive learned from the hillman group was how to work in a fast paced production environment. Management and my co workers were friendly and helpful to one another especially when it was a very – more... hard situation we all pulled through. The hardest part of the job was when ever someones work station was backed up and it would stop the conveyer belt then it would slow everyone down. the enjoyable part of the job was when no body backed up the line and everything would go smoothly – less

Treats employees like numbers and not people
Order Processor / Former Employee (Former Employee), Cincinnati Ohio – July 14, 2012
Cons: lack of job security
This job is all about the numbers with little regard of what the employees must go through to reach that goal set by the company, This is an organization that will walk you out the door at the drop of a hat with little disregard of what it may do to your life and the life of your family
They do not care about ther enployees and the problems that need to be solved.Your right Its all about the numbers.

I would agree with this reviewer. Don't even bother w/ this company unless your desperate and pathetic and want to be under paid and constantly harassed . Management and most of the employees should take some sensitivity training. Modern day sweat shop security cameras watch your every move perfect job for the Poor and Uneducated.

Management Not performing
Sales (Former Employee), Cincinnati, OH – June 8, 2012
Pros: none lately
Cons: no support from management or home office
Management and support from home office was good in the past. Lately there was no way to call someone and get a answer to a question or problem. Everything done through email and the answers, if they respond, are no help. Management used to be hands on lately almost no contact with customers and especially VIP Accounts. Supplies needed to complete job – more... are never sent correctly and displays are sent in pieces over 2 weeks apart. Customers complained about poor turn around time to get job done. Since I was sales rep, it all came down on me, so I was the "problem" – less
