Interview
I've had two separate interviews with this same Lowe's facility now, and neither left a particularly pleasant taste in my mouth. On my first interview several years ago, I had come in for a scheduled interview with an HR representative who was about 45 minutes late for the appointment. Upon finally sitting down with her, I was given a sheet to fill out, asked several generic questions about my previous and current employment (only to have my answers treated with unwarranted, extreme dubiousness) and then given a generic "you'll hear from us" line before being shown the way out. Needless to say, I counted this "opportunity" out and found myself disappointed that I'd bothered wasting gas on the drive.
The saying starts; "Fool me twice," but I found myself having applied to the same job yet again several years later (even though I was told that the position hasn't been vacant in nearly a decade) -- with the addition of even more (significant) credentials under my belt. Upon showing up for my interview, I was told to walk to the back of the building and find the training room on my own accord, where I then sat for no less than fifteen minutes as managers walked in and out to chit-chat amongst themselves, never bothering with an introduction. After finally meeting the person whom I'd been waiting for, we went to a side office for a one-on-one where just about every other answer I'd attempted to give was interrupted by a phone call, not that I had expected anything other than doodles to be jotted down on his clipboard, seeing as he'd barely managed to make eye contact through the entirety of the interview. I was told that I should hear from them within a week or so, given a weak handshake, and shown my way out. My rejection came in the form of a generic email roughly one month later.
Unless wasting time is a particularly fond hobby of yours, don't bother with this company--especially not when there's a Home Depot directly across the street with over double their value in the stock market.
