The staggering amount of money Lowe's is losing due to lack of staffing far, FAR, F-A-R exceeds the pittince they are saving on payroll. I am heartbroken to see the company that I devoted more than a decade of my life to going down in flames like... — read more

Lowes corporate can eat a bag of richards
Just plain and simple, lowes sucks. These corporate aholes collecting these massive bonuses off everybody else's dismay. Far and inbetween days off, with no time to recover, recoup, or take care of your own life. If I was a customer I would take my... — read more
Lowe's U...waste of time...no one cares
Part timers are getting their hours cut to almost nothing and the managers run right to them when they show up asking them about Lowe's U. And the full timers are too busy trying to get things done or help customers who can't find anyone to even... — read more
D-mb Third Party Imps
These little third party delivery Tatoo looking mid-ets, are a bunch of lying, unattached, careless mo--n’s that trash the receiving area with appliance boxes and beat the he-l out of the appliances while destroying door moldings and ripping... — read more
We should all call in on the same day.
That would show each store. Every employee in Lowe’s should call in on the same day! Why not? This job is turning into a complete joke! Customers walking out because there is no one to help them. My resume has been submitted to many employees — read more
Typical Saturday at Lowe's
In appliances by myself. Tons of customers and then there's the issues caused by XPO. Also one guy wants to take a dryer with him and I'm the only one licensed in the store to use the order picker. Sc--w it. Left 3 customers who all left cause they... — read more

Strike While The Iron Is Hot
To strike while the iron is hot is to act decisively and take an opportunity when it arises. Yes it is time to stand up for all the BS and send a message to Corporate. Take off Labor day, call out sick. We all deserve better.
Meritocracy
I wish management was smart enough to promote those that truly work their butts off instead of these dead-weights just because they’re “friends”. In my opinion so much more could be accomplished. But the sad truth is that many of our top performers... — read more
I'm ready to walk away
Anyone’s SM riding their employees because their DM came down hard on them? Not sure what is going on but our SM has been driving us to the brink of exhaustion. His attitude towards us has worsened and while I understand where he is coming from we... — read more

What date are we all as a group going to call out?
Overnight team is terrible
The overnight team don’t put new inventory in the right departments. They put top stock wherever they want and management knows this and won’t fix it. It’s hurting our sales when sales associates and internet fulfillment associates can’t find... — read more
Customer Complaints!! ONE of MANY
Original review: March 26, 2021 We are contractors for a major company and do a lot of business with Lowe’s. Their service have gone down 100%. Most orders that are placed come out wrong when we pick them up and almost all deliveries are left outside... — read more
Don’t Worry!

Stop being cheap and crank the AC
It's been incredibly hot and humid the last few weeks and it's a sweathole in the stores. It's bad enough that Marvin and his band of cheap fu----s have us all exhausted from trying to cover 3 departments apiece. Now the AC is barely on and it... — read more
TAPs are useless
I’m hearing the TAPs will be gone before the end of the year. They are some of the highest paid talent people and quite worthless. CTA is also horrible right now. Lowe’s HR in general is a mess. Wide open doors for lawsuits
Load up on Glassdoor
I recommend loading up negative comments and posts to Glassdoor. It is great to post on here too, but Lowe’s leadership will see the reviews on Glassdoor. Load em’ up!! It is anonymous on Glassdoor too.

Customer centric scheduling
Heard that my store is going to customer centric scheduling next month. Manager told me and she said it's awful. Can someone explain it? Thanks.
Lowe's hiring scam
Lowe's says it will hire 50,000 people. Meanwhile it doesn't give them any hours and cuts the hours of the existing part timers. Then Lowe's collects money from the federal government for hiring those 50,000 even though they never work.. That's a... — read more
Disgusting
As an appliance specialist I wrote over $175,000 last month and my bonus is $350. That's a slap in the face and corporate should be embarrassed. My profit margin was 28% so I made them $49,000. That should be a $1200 max bonus. But they only give a... — read more
“Omni-channel “

Self-Identification Opportunity? REALLY?

PSE
“Millwork must handle the workorders for PSE issues. Order the replacement sashes and screens , etc, so that he can be “free to sell”. WHO is “freeing” the Specialists to sell while they do freight, IRPs, Code 50’s, retrieve carts, and rotate on the... — read more
Churn & burn
For the last few months I’ve been feeling like we’ve adopted a new business model called “churn and burn”. That’s when we hire new employees, barely give them any training and work them until they’ve had enough and just quit. I can’t even count how... — read more

CHECK THIS OUT!
Just in case you missed this, CEO-ME’s compensation nearly doubled to $23.1m during the pandemic. That’s up a cool 99% from the $11.6m, that Lowe’s awarded this CEO in 2019. Simply mind blowing whilst loyal employees break their backs. Your workload... — read more
