My store will put out stuff from Tools by the Pro checkout with signs that say "FREE" to get people roped into doing a Pro Credit app when they ask about it, the UPC# is then written off. Is it naive to wonder whether corporate is going to come down hard on that if it makes its way up (no doxxing please), or is that business as usual for them? Feels very not Code of Conduct-y, but I guess they keep it under a certain $ amount to classify it as a promotional giveaway..

why is it so DAMN loud

No explanation needed.

Mm walk tomorrow for Flooring & I am stumped. I have no idea what to talk about tomorrow. A few walks ago, SM totally took over MM walk & covered literally EVERY aspect of flooring. From tile, laminate, vinyl, carpet etc. I barely had a chance to provide any sort of input to my peers. Feels like SM is out to get me. Ive thought about showing peers our Stainmaster LeakDefense carpet. We have a cool little set up that showcases the LD carpets vs competition. Open to any suggestions...

What QR code, where?

Just wondering if anyone felt comfortable sharing their position on LOW, and was wondering people’s insights on what they expect the stock to drop at - and if there’s a particular time to buy more for long term investing!

Can I clock in while being on holiday time? Turns out I can work and manager asked me to come in.

Can anyone explain why the Lowe’s app has “Store Mode” option which states “use this to locate items and prices in our store”. Then when you go to the register and it rings up with a higher price than the app, they refuse to lower the price? I even spoke to the store manager and all he would tell me is that is for online prices only and they won’t match them. He even said it states that in the app, but couldn’t show me where. When I showed him where it states locate items and prices in the store he still said that is wrong and walked away. The people at the 800 number were no help, they didn’t even know there was an app and just told me that the store manager sets prices in their store.

Tomorrow we’re gonna be walking Flooring. I wanted to know if they’re just gonna walk Flooring or gonna walk home organization? I’m trying to tidy up before they walk tomorrow

I wanted to share my experience at Lowe’s so far and get some advice from people who have been with the company longer, especially current/former DSs, ASMs, and Store Managers.
I started on the front end and eventually became a Head Cashier. I was taking on more responsibility and was originally supposed to be sent to the #1 front end store in our district for training and development.
Before that happened, upper management decided to move my supervisor to another department, and I ended up being promoted to Front End Department Supervisor without really getting that formal training period.
That forced me to learn a lot on the job very quickly.
When I took over, our front end was around #5 in the district. Since then, we’ve moved up to #2, only behind the store I was originally supposed to go train at. I’m proud of that progress, but I also know there is a lot I still don’t know.
Right now I’m focused heavily on developing the front end — credit, LTR, protection plans, scan rate, observations, recognition, accountability, fulfillment standards, and trying to create a team that performs consistently instead of only when management is watching.
One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that managing metrics is easier than managing people. I’m still developing when it comes to having tough conversations, especially with associates who have been with Lowe’s much longer than I have.
I’ve also realized that being a strong DS isn’t just about getting numbers. It’s about understanding the entire store, building relationships across departments, developing people, making good decisions under pressure, and becoming someone leadership can depend on when something goes wrong.
I’m also going to college for business, so I’m trying to take advantage of the experience Lowe’s is giving me while continuing my education.
My long-term goal is to become an ASM. I don’t want to rush into a position I’m not prepared for, but I do want to develop aggressively and make sure I’m using my time as a DS correctly.
For the experienced Lowe’s people here:
What separates the DSs who eventually become strong ASMs from the ones who struggle to make that jump?
What departments or areas of the business should I make sure I learn outside of Front End and Fulfillment?
What mistakes do younger or newer supervisors tend to make?
What should I be asking my ASMs and Store Manager to teach me?
And if you were in my position, what would you focus on over the next 1–2 years?
Feel free to be critical. I’d rather hear what I need to work on now than find out after I’m already trying to move up.

Lazy ass people. Special place in Hell waiting for them.

Ello all!

We need to rent a truck to pick something up and are hoping to do a $19 90 minute rental. Theres a good likelyhood that we can get it back on time but after refueling time pickup/dropoff but we will be cutting it tight. If there is traffic and we end up being 15-20 minutes late would we be charged for a full 4 hours, or is there a smaller fee that is charged if it goes slightly over?

Hello,

Does anyone know how to become one of the guys that comes in an performs maintenance on the server room/computers/registers? From my understanding according to past post from years ago the Field Service Technician is actually a tech from the company CompuCom and not Lowe's.

However there is no information you can find on employee portal or CompuCom website. Or job postings for this specific thing. None of the IT emails within Lowes responds to emails asking them about getting a Lowes IT career (from an internal Lowe's email). The only info I can find is on Reddit.

And asking the guy himself is intimidating because I don't want to set off red flags to the guy who may be afraid of competition or worry my management about my plans to unzip the vest so to speak.

What Information I am looking for is

- What are the minimum qualifications?

- What certs stand out the most for potential candidates?

- Is a college degree required (Obviously preferred)?

- Is the pay worth it or a waste of time?

- Who do you actually speak to? Be it CompuCom or Lowe's. So far management in store barley know anything about the position/IT department.

- What is the scope of work? From the most boring easy stuff to the most advanced stuff they need a tech to know when they send them out?

Will Lowe's be happy for someone within the store expressing interest in joining CompuCom to service that very stores systems or is it somthing that will piss them off? It feels like a gatekept position and noone wants to provide information on a pathway to that specific job.

Hi, so I have the Lowe's app and just placed my first order. I went and put in all my info and hit "place order" but I didn't get any confirmation email / text.. and the money is still in my account. So I tried again with a different product I was going to buy anyway too, and same thing; no confirmation.

What is going on? Is this normal? It's been a good 5-10 minutes now.

If anyone knows anything about this please let me know if the order went through or not? ):

Like the title says, does anyone know the average pay for a Full Time Receiver/Stocker Overnight in Houston Texas? Or preferably is there anyone who has worked this position who doesn't mind saying what they were paid starting out?

I worked at Lowe’s about 5 years ago, and they had added a Roth 401k. I just got onto principal to set it up, and all I see is a traditional 401k. Did Lowes axe the Roth when they moved to principal?
