How's the work life balance at Lowe's Home Improvement?
Currículos de Melhores Profissionais
No the best. The work a schedule similar to a swing shift no matter what a person prefers. So if you have children in school or other activities you only get to go to the event once a month. And the weekend scheduling is even worse
Lowes new customer centric scheduling leaves no time for family and scheduling anything outside of work. We used to have a 4 week rotation so we knew what days off we were to have now we have no idea. Also they let a program schedule was is best and there are always so many mistakes. the program is a disaster for the employee.
There is none. Lowe's only cares about scheduling bodies.....and generally without comprehensive consideration of any factor.
What do people at Lowe's Home Improvement think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Currículos de Melhores Profissionais
Failed at other companies and is on his way here.
Time will tell. New CEO. But he failed at his last company.
Almost all store level employees cannot stand Niblock, especially tenured employees, due to the many ways he has taken the "human" out of human resources & appears to be grooming those left to be "Stepford" associates; all interchangable, spewing the company party line. To him, associates are a costly asset but warrant no further thought than,say, replacing a piece of power equipment.
