Lowe’s Home Improvement

"The best part about growth is that you can decide on how and when to grow you career. "

"I believe women and men are treated equally on my team. There are also many women at Lowe's in leadership positions."

"This a great company to make an impact. There a lot of opportunities available and the leadership team is incredible. "

"Lowe's at the store and field level is a great company to work for. Corporate, not so much. No remote, have to relocate to Charlotte, NC. Salaries are sub par at best."

"Under previous leadership, I would have been extremely reticent to join Lowe's based on their reputation of not fully embracing gender, ethnic, and lgbtq diversity within the stores. However, leadership has been diligent in recent years to do everything they can to talk the talk and walk the walk when it comes to making sure everyone feels safe and included in all aspects of the job. It's a heavy lift to repair a bruised reputation, but I feel leadership has us on the right track."

"As a female associate at Lowe's, I work with a team of females and feel supported daily. Lowe's offers equal opportunity for females as an employer. "

"Lowe's is a great place to work for moms and students. They provide a great work/life balance to support not only families but those who are also trying to earn an education. In addition, they provide tuition assistance and other great benefits. Promotional opportunities are available for everyone. I was lucky enough to show through hard work, determination and dedication that I knew the job well enough and had the skills to fit a Corp role and within 5 months of coming to Lowe's I promoted into a Corp Salary role. The people are also great, everyone is like a huge family. Enjoying where you work and who you work with makes Lowe's a great place to work! "

"Learn different areas so that you are diversified. Read everything you can and learn as much as you can."

"I would let other women know that some times the male customers are rude. "

"If you like the warehousing, distribution environment and maybe being able to break the glass ceiling, then you might like it. You will get burnt out with trying to make a difference and not being appreciated. I do believe it is who you know in this company and if you say 'no' once, it may hurt your career. It may have changed since I left over a year ago, but I'm not so sure. There were about 2,000 assistant managers that were let go from the stores and warehouses about a year ago and a lot went to work one day and let go without any warning. These people had worked for the company about an average of eight years. "

"I don't know if there are still any developers in their Kirkland office. "

"If you have to work here, try to get a job behind a counter where people can't get to you. Also look for a store with more women in management positions."

"Lowes is an equal opportunity employer. They give jobs based on performance "

"Do your homework with contacts/friends working on the inside. Each team/department is different. If you end up with an awesome manager or director you could have a wonderful experience."

"they're pretty good at keeping positions equal and don't discriminate against sex. "

"The employer itself is not bad, but customers can be very sexist towards women I. This line of work."

"The gender pay gap is wide and needs to be addressed. "

"Work hard and you will be recognized."

"I would not recommend working here, unless you have few other options."

"It has a bit of the good old boys club and the pay is just ok."

"I worked at Lowe's for 7.5 years part time, left to finish my Bachelors than unable to find work went back. I worked seasonally than part time and than transferred to another store for full time. After 6 months of stress I left that store and two months later was rehired at my old store in the full time position I wanted. Facts are women are paid less and expected to do more. Physical labor was exstensive you get absolutely no help and it kills your body. I was so gleeful the day I quit with my notice and said goodbye for good. They do match 401k and have decent health benefits if you're full time. It takes 180 days for health insurance, but you can 401k contribute from day one with matching. There is maternity leave but it's not very long. I think it's 3-4 weeks."

"Very physical job."

"Women are usually placed in support roles although there are department managers in other departments, mainly home decor, fashion ligting, cashiering."
