Lowes Reviews and Complaints

The negativity that some of you guys have is unreal. If you are that unsatisfied with your job find a new one lowes did not come looking for you you came looking for lowes.be thankful and greatful you have a job and are able to work.

I am an asm and i have been through every position and if your not succeeding its something your doing not the company. Everything begins on the frontlines and has an impact on tje business it makes me sad to see so much negativity and you blame everyone but yourself take a step back and look in the miror and make a difference instead of being the one in the break room gossiping. Be a part of the solution not the problem.

Things could always be a lot worse and you need to understand that we all have oppurtunity we are human not robots so dont set your expextations to perfect. Look at what your team does not what they dont do.

Terrible grammar and punctuation. This is the epitome of the type of people Lowe's deems fit for promotion.

I did get a new job. Now I'm making more than you scrub ASMs.

Reasons the people may be unsatisfied with there jobs and complaining. Well maybe they love where they work and they want to make a difference.

And maybe the feel the ASM is not meeting there standards. And they would like you to remove yourself from the company. So they can have an excellent work environment. Free from a managers that fail.

And you are not being a solution when you are posting on here.

This is gossiping. And yes you to have contributed.

But when the people in the "clique" that are not as qualified get the positions it's a little hard to handle. Especially when it happens over and over again in all departments. They are taking food out of my kids mouth, Would be one thing is it was just me saying it but when the majority of the store thinks it should have been me it's a little hard to give a rats *** about this place.

I to am a lowes employee and a lot of the times the Ams don't do anything but sit in there office and ride there employees *** just to see how far they can push before they quit. Well u got one man doing the job of 4 MEN that's why LOWES employees moral is down

Actually Part time employees dont really have any rights, it doesnt matter who the employer is. If you take a personal and not a medical leave, they can let you go. (its different from state to state as well)

I believe one should always call the HR department and get clarification before they make any move that affects their livelihood

whater

Those of you claiming Lowes is cutting "high" earners in favor of lower paid employees are wrong. Under the new pay rate advisor lowes is paying more to employees in the way of compensation based on experience related to the position.

Lowes former pay was decided on a pay scale and where a manager wanted to put you on that pay scale. Lowe' s as a company has made starting salaries much more favorable to experienced candidates.

Lowe's is a speciality retailer looking to attract 'qualified' applicants for specialty positons who can address customer needs and support a selling culture. Those who complain about this usually have little experience related to the position and little work background related to the field, therefore are compensated fairly.

I dont know what store you work at but at my store there are new employees with no experience who are starting out making more than people who have been there... same position...

for years. I have been a dept. manager for over 3 years & a part-time person was made the full-time LNS, with no experience, has been employeed in this store for 1/4 of the time I have been there & is making more than. 50/ hour than I am.

Oh... and for the past 2 years I have been the only dept mgr. for all 5 depts in zone 3. Fair?

*** no!!

Legal? I'm gonna find out!!

That's because you need to quit and get rehired to go through the pay rate advisor. Another possibility is to stop being negative and sour, get promoted and be put through the pay rate advisor.

With an attitude like that you should go work for someone else.

We are all spread thin, suck it up and get paid more. It's simple.

I'm curious as to the attitude you are referring too? If some one expressing concern for the unfair treatment, he or she, may have received and your response is advising someone to quit and get rehired; how are you able to maintain a positive support focus for our customers?

Contrary to your advise, we encourage employees to voice their concerns so we can be actively involved in helping support a work place with a better morale for everyone. We can't help if we are never informed.

the return policy stinks.. you steal stuff then return it to a different store and get a merchandise card.

then sell it for 50 or 60 % cash value...scums are making thousands a week doing this. lowes wont let us stop then,, in most cases they even know their names

I am very happy you can figure the math out. I have check stubs to prove my claim.

Yes it is 43k a year 40hr weeks are 39 as you should know. I was a zone or asm for 3 years and know the pay scale well. I started in 2000 at close to 30k. Worked into a dept manager then to zone.

stepped down from zone to specialist. Company plant or not. I do a job the company sees value and pays me what I am worth for the job. Onto the next part.

Yes I agree the high earners will be phased out. You are 100% right with the claim. I will likely be canned someday in the future but for now I will continue to take their money and do my job. When the day comes that they fire me for making too much money I will walk out gladly and then will sue the pants off of the company for wrongful dismissal.

There are laws against that type of thing. Would be like firing me for being of a race they dont like. From what I am seeing though they are making where people just want to quit.

Sadly this will only effect their precious *** wall street pigs when the customers go back to the ma and pop stores for knowledge as the drooling *** kids making 8 bucks an hour stand there with blank faces knowing nothing... So yeah call me a plant but this plant has deep roots and am gonna hold out as long as I can.....

13 years, you are full of something or your a company plant, $22 an hour would equate to 45K a year ( 40 hour week X 52 weeks), not even an MOD makes that, Assistant manager start at 30-35K depending on the location. Lowes plan for the next five years is to phase out half of its full time employees on the selling floor ( most notably the higher earners, $12-14 per hour) and replace them with part timers ( no benefits to pay out), this is not a made up thing, it was approved by senior management and the shareholders, also there was a Lowes press release and a an article in Business-week in Jan or Feb of 2011.

Wrong maybe they tell you they make 35k but I am an ASM at lowes and my base salary is 67k with a 30percent bonus on my salary for hitting sales goals plus my benifits are amazing so you obviously didnt ask for enough money are were not worth it.

This is basically the only accurate post on this wall...

I'm not sure why this site censored my post. I didn't say anything obscene...

Lowe's won't allow me to leave work for a short time to have a surgery. So screw them. Even Walmart of all places let me leave for a week and a half when I wanted to visit family.

Lowe's sucks. They have no idea how to take care of their good employees

Lowe's won't allow me to *** for a surgery. *** them.

Even Walmart of all places let me *** a week and a half when I wanted to visit family. Lowe's sucks.

Sorry to hear about your back and lowes is not working with you....Found this video on you tube called LOWES FORKLIFT TRAGEDY(full version)....you might find it interesting to know that lowes has caused problems for other people as well..good luck with your back..hope things work out better for you than they did for this family..

Reality,

Brown noser? I think not I however do belive in working for what I am paid.

I have with the exception of the last 3 years always gotten a 4% raise. Since I am capped in my position only been getting 2%. *** you say? I have pay stubs to support my claims on here.

As for a union? You have to be out of your mind, Put a union in so we have to support people who dont want to work? Demand excessive this or that. Do it or we strike.

Dont get me wrong union workers there was a time and a place that the unions were needed but not here. Perfect physically fit perfect people? I have a smoked back and to bad rotators but they have not cast me out.

They have always worked with my issues and have never been rude. Get your facts straight bitterman.

lol Reality, despite your belief regarding wages you're wrong. I'm located in New England not New Jersey, and I broke the 20 barrier within 2 years of joining the company.

It's not brown nosing either, it's called negotiating salary every time you start working for a company, and negotiating every time you get promoted. Which for the people you know isn't a factor as FSA's typically stay as FSA's

13 years. Do you serious expect anybody to believe the line of *** that you spewed out.

22 bucks an hour and 13 years service. I know people who have worked for Lowes with twice those years and do not make near that money. Your nose must be a brown one. Vinceapple is another victim of Lowes policies.

The specific policy being " we only want perfect physically fit people. All others need not apply".

Lowes employee needs a Union to protect them, not more brown nosers, of which they have plenty of. Clearly, 13 years is a Lowes troll on this site.

For 13 years they have paid me well and the incentives are better then any retailer I know. I have 3 weeks paid vaca 4 floating holidays, dental, medical, vision and sick time.

Im making a bit over 22 bucks an hour. No where else in this moment in time can come close.. Do I like everything? No but when I need them my company is there.

Sick? No problem. Funeral Your paid. Injury?

we got it covered. Need a day off or out early? You got it. When they need me Im there.

No lowes is not where I want to be forever but i these times she is my refuge in a terrible rocky job market. Sorry you obviously were not able to give to receive..

Lowes only gives military discount if they feel like it. My hometown Lowes takes my DD214 no questions asked.

I come to Zepharhills Florida and refuse and said that's the way it is from corporate.

Lowes treats veterans like they are nobody. I will shop some place else even if its higher because they treat me right

hoceze

You have to have a photo military ID. Anyone can go on the Internet and print off a DD214 and put their personal information into it and show their drivers license.

The DD214s are only accepted on certain holidays that are posted.

We give the discount to all veterans whether they show a DD214 or whatever as long as it shows they were in the military.

The store I work at is the same way. You have to have a military ID, not a DD-214. We have it clearly posted at all registers.

As Ron said, you need a military ID. Says it right on everything they advertise with a military discount.

As far as the creepo depot goes, I've known of retired vets who get sent away and told there is no military discount at all there. So, different places do military discounts differently at the store level.

Everyone spends tens of thousands of dollars each year and then on an 900 dollar problem all bets are off. Lowes cannot refuse a refund by policy by the way.

Take the window back and demand the store manager he is the only one who can say no in the building. Once he says no then ask for his or her market directors number.

They will refund it then. You wont have to call the market director just ask for their number.

If Depot does a better job why didnt you buy the mower there?

Until people start cancelling their orders when they don't get their deliveries on time, Lowes will do nothing.

Sorry about your problems. Kraftmaid is so wonderful that they changed their policy about quick shipping replacement cabinets.

If they mess up they will expidite the pieces if the designer messes up they will not. Had this happen a couple months ago myself. Customer changed his mind on a corner cabinet decided they wanted the fully loaded model once the empty one arrived. I reordered customer paid the extra and kraftmaid gave me a 6 week lead time.

since the kitchen was ripped out I called kraftmaid service and got a rude lady who told me the policy changed and she cant help. I climbed to my rep and then his boss and got 2 weeks shaved off of the order but beware if you need something that is not their fault it will take full order time. As far as Russ I cant say he is a bad guy as I dont know him but what I do know is I was told a monkey could run the design computers when they cut our sales incentive. Perhaps he was tossed into the department after the real designer told the company to suck it.

Russ is likely poorly trained if he recieved any training at all.

They killed the training program 7 years ago and everything is done on a training computer most unhelpful.

Good luck to you sir. I'm sorry that the company has put a black mark on what should be a joyful time in your life.

Most of their cr@p is made in Asia, of course--more profits for Lowes. However they do not permit you to mention where anything is made if you are foolish enough to try and review a product on their site.

In fact, Lowe's rejects reviews when there have been too many negative posts on any given product. They don't want their sales to suffer, after all!

If you're buying a patio bench for a hundred bucks of course it's made overseas. Otherwise go pay 300-500 bucks for a real one from a local shop.

You're a *** ***..
