Lowe's Home Improvement reviews

Inconsistent scheduling. They often schedule you every day of the week even if you're part time while trying to give you as few hours as possible with little regard for your availability. Then they expect you to actually get things done with the few hours you work when there aren't enough people to even help customers. You are told not to skip breaks, but it is obvious that you have to because there are never enough people to cover your shift. You are expected to complete online training every month, but you are never given time to complete it. The operations manager often will implement unfair and unreasonable policies such as the "Power Hour" where no one can take their lunch between 12:00 and 1:00 PM.

I have found at least in the location where I work is that the communication between upper management and department managers is horrible. Upper management tends to believe that the less we know what is going on the better. Also, it is widely believed that a department manager is the worst position to have in the entire company... you do not get any support when holding your own people accountable for their actions (or in-actions) and this is especially true when it comes to sales specialists who pretty much get away with murder. True leaders will excel in this position. have noticed that the "who you know's" get promoted before the "what you know's" every time... a good ole boys club.
