Lowe's Network

Or is this just something else? I would love to work at Lowe's.

There is a lot to learn if you can handle it. Really pay attention to your training! Take notes, especially on stuff that is specific to your department (depending on where you are). The customers WILL expect you to know everything, but don’t worry because you won’t. It’s ok to ask other co-workers. The store is a bit big and overwhelming at first, but it just takes time. Lowe's is ALL about that the customer is central to everything. Do what you have to do to take care of the customer. If you don’t know....ask! Don’t abandon them and say you’ll be right back and never return. Smile and be kind. It’s the customer’s hard earned dollar and they want a good experience. Wouldn't you?

When I worked at Lowe’s I got asked a bunch of stuff every day. Where are the nails? What type of battery does this drill need? Do you sell (insert product name here), etc. I never minded helping cuz that was my job and plus the store has a TON of stuff and it can be hard to find everything. Well, one day I am out working in lawn and garden and some guy comes up to me all flustered. He tells me that he wants to buy some dirt for his garden. I asked him if he needed help finding it, but then he tells me he found it, but that he needs a "clean bag of dirt.” I honestly thought I was being punked by my boss. Then I realize he is DEAD serious.

I politely explained that sometimes the bags of dirt leak and they can spill onto the other bags. I told him to pick the ones he wanted and I could wipe them off for him. He seemed ok with this solution, bought the dirt and was on his way. I had NEVER seen my boss laugh so hard when I told him what happened.

I was thankful to be hired in a specialty department (doors & windows) for Lowe's because it allowed me to sit down with customers and discuss their needs for new doors or windows. I like working with people and Lowe's recognized that. They took the time to train me in my area of interest. I had a good experience with them.

I heard last month that Lowe's is giving more than 260,000 hourly employees a bonus of up to $1,000 because of some new tax thing. Awesome! Only a good company is willing to put their money back into their workers in my mind. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/01/lowes-bonuses-heres-what-employees-will-receive.html
