Solid workplace but management needs improvement - Sales Associate Lowe's Home Improvement Employee Review

Lowe's is a great place to build a career. As an assistant manager, I've had the opportunity to meet the CEO. His message was clear. He didn't care what you looked like or where you come from. If you are willing to work hard abide by the companies core values there is a place for you here. As someone that has been promoted from within, this company truly stands behind that.

It's retail, so work/life balance can get out of what if you let it.

The job offers great benefits, and you have the opportunity to learn a lot about different home improvement skills as well as get a better understanding of general contracting as a whole, if you apply yourself. Most fellow associates are kind and helpful and fantastic to work with, really fostering the idea that corporate likes to push of being a 'family'.

You will be worked hard with a skeleton crew and given every excuse under the sun by management as to why even the simplest improvements can't be done, Customers are generally nice, but there are a fair amount of them that will abuse or insult you for not knowing everything about everything in the store. Favoritism definitely thrives there, with people possessing better skills being passed over for opportunities by people who are more chummy with the right people.
