I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Columbia, SC) in Mar 2021
Interview
Was interviewed by 2 store managers about 30 minutes and then the district manager about a week or so later also about a 30 minute interview: Questions were standard and not too difficult at all.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
I interviewed for Assistant Manager, but they hired someone internally. That is perfectly fine with me. Then, they offered me a job as Department Supervisor. However, they took away that offer and made me interview for it. Then, I was denied that job that they already offered. Next, they wanted me to interview for one last position because they felt bad for my negative experience. After that final interview, they went with someone else. Very negative experience and unprofessional from start to finish.

Question 1
What would you do if a customer complained about an associate?
I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Baton Rouge, LA)
Interview
The interview process was not the best. I had a phone interview first and then an in person interview. When I went for the in person interview I was told to go to the service desk and ask for a specific person. The employees at the service desk never heard of him, so I had to navigate my way through the store to the interview area where I sat for 15min before being awknowledged. In the interview you sit in front of about 5 people while they each take a turn asking you questions off of a script. It's the basic situational questions, and after you answer a question it's complete awkward silence for several minutes while they all write down your answers. You're not given a chance to stray away from those questions so, you're not really able to show why youd be a good fit for the position. Overall the interview process is filled with very awkward silence and the questions are often so long and filled with 3 or 4 smaller points you need to answer to fully answer the question that it makes you forget the original question. I got through the interview but I ended up declining their offer.
