We all have better things to do right? Gonna be dead in the store anyway.
An incredible amount of disinterest
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.
Q1 Earnings Will Be Dismal
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
Pictures, pictures, pictures, pictures…
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
Complaining about low pay is futile
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?

Working in a messy store?
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
I'm worried about Lowe's and our future
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
No push for hiring because…
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
Install Partners
Who's using Install Partners at their store and do they suck as bad as at my store?
Coming soon - PetSLowe's Indoor Dog Park! (not a joke)
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
Closed on Easter: Lowes
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.
Lowe’s is hiring - no they’re not
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.
The inscrutable logic of this company
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
It's Thursday 7pm, Only 9 peolple on Push to Talk.
Place is Emptry, 2 people on morning freight, rest quit last week, boxes ALL Over the place. City of Tampa
Does everyone see this in your store
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
Hours are being strangled and no push for spring hiring…???
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
Specialty Bonus program
How is the specialist bonus program going? What kind of payouts are people getting? Do the SPH targets make sense?
Layoffs
I’ve heard rumblings of layoffs today. Anyone know which groups were impacted? Hold on tight everyone..
Unrealistic expectations
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.
Corporate
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
Marvin we have a problem
Lowe’s plans a negative comp for the year… good by stock value.
Welcome to our Indoor Dog Park!
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?
Lowe's Self Checkout
More brilliance from Melvin and the Melvettes. 1 person is now supposed to be able to cover 8 - 10 SCO machines by themself.
Lowe's Sales Specialist
Is the Sales Specialists bonus going away ? Changing ? No information at my store .
New SSA rumors start again.
Happens every year. Moving to floor/office blend , like cash office.
Did you see latest Lowe's commercial?
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
New IHC pay structure - good/bad?
IHCs will now be paid differently. Wondering everyone's thoughts as to if this is good or bad?
Employees with 5 years of experience or more
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
Some of you need a reality check
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
Open Letter to the CEO
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
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 .
Get Ready.......
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.
Blowes James Bond
There is a Regional Vice President who fancies himself a superhero/secret agent. He sneaks into various stores on his hitlist and proceeds to videotape via his cellphone the few associates who happen to be working. His favorite method of taping is... — read more
Dump the LTR and grow a pair.
I am a long time associate of Lowe’s. I’ve been a department supervisor for quite a while and I’m sick and tired of this company giving scheming customers discounts and product for nothing. It goes on all the time. We get calls from customers all the... — read more
Possible Lowe's earnings decline.
HD announced their quarterly earnings on Tuesday. Lowe's usually announces theirs the next day but this time they are posting next week. Is bad news coming?
Why I finally decided to leave

More veiled threats, less calories
So the store manager comes back from Vegas, fresh from the circle jerk sessions... He offered nothing to support his sales force, he basically said we would be held accountable for all metrics on a quarterly basis. In the meantime he started the new... — read more
