Lowe's Home Improvement Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The company really does care about their customers and employees, at least at the corporate level. I feel like everyone understands that it is a customer-centric organization. Without loyal customers, Lowe's would not be successful.

Lots of things need to change.

Review from Sales Dept

There is no communication from management

Better work/life Balance, set shifts and no bouncing around shifts that create poor attitudes with different time of day working hours.

The management needs to be respectful of the employees and treat them like human beings not cattle.

Review from Sales Dept

every single little thing from the ground up

Review from Customer Support Dept

More interaction from management. Too many standing around talking.

Review from Sales Dept

People need to learn respect

Review from Sales Dept

Put people before profit. The employees need to feel valued not just a number.

Review from Sales Dept

Honestly it's hard to say. It's not going to get better because Lowe's is 100% just about numbers now. It's starting to feel like employees are just a number too. Even a sliver of honesty and appreciation would help but I guess that's too much to ask for.

Review from Marketing Dept

Better communication, better pay, more steady scheduling.

Review from Sales Dept

Management needs to be retrained. He needs to come back to stores. Not being in store employees do not feel heard, and are uncomfortable making claims through phone interactions. Managers now feel they can do anything without repercussions, because of lack of HR in store.

Review from Sales Dept

Better management and proper training

Review from Customer Support Dept

Dedicated employees need respect and need to be compensated for their work.

Less apathy. Finding employees who care about the company. Making the company worth caring about.
