Just left a position at a Lowe's in NY's Hudson Valley. People quit and never get replaced. 2 employees (sometimes just 1) scheduled for each dept, one opener one closer. Nobody to cover your lunches or breaks except your overworked coworker in the dept next door. Not uncommon to be the only person at times in 3-4 depts. Store was filthy, bathrooms go uncleaned for days. Break room full of mousetraps and overflowing garbage cans. Rampant theft with an LP dept that was obsessed with everything but watching the expensive tools walking out the door. Sullen management moping around. Don't bother to ask them for help because they never will. No matter how hard we worked it was never good enough for our store manager. This place slowly became, hands down, the worst job I had ever had.
