Upper level management (Vice President and Directors) need to listen to their team. They constantly have empty promises of change. There is extremely high turnover and layoffs that occur. Lowe's constantly has the reputation of being a poor employer especially compared to other companies in the surrounding area. They try to spin situations in a positive light. You must play the politics game to work here. Be prepared. They are trying to change the company around, but there will need to be a mass exodus of leadership at all levels to leave to actually make an impact.
