Misguided Direction. - Department Manager Lowe's Home Improvement Employee Review

Great benefits. Good Pay. Bonus is easy. Great staff. Decent managers.

Terrible leave policy. Don't expect time off or schedule changes. Life to work balance is atrocious. If you work at Lowes, you ARE Lowes. The attendance policy is dictated by Kronos. If you clock in late, too many absences, the management leans on Kronos to fire you. Nothing they can do, etc... It's BS. They jus t don't have the cajones to fire you personally, so they blame the system.

Remote, great starting pay for entry level remote. Team environment was the best part of the experience.

Very limited to no advancement opportunities with pay increases that don't even match cost of living increases. No HR support and the culture reflects that... not a company that has any flexibility in the way employees are handled when they make a mistake it stacks and is not removes for a year. If you have three mistakes even if they are in totally different areas they will terminate even tenured employees with otherwise perfect records. Not a way to keep good employees.
