Declined Offer – Interviewed in Lincolnwood, IL (US) May 2013 – Reviewed May 21, 2013 New
Interview Details Lots of email and automated phone calls to schedule interview itself. Once I got there, I waited 40 minutes past my scheduled time (In which case I watched the Customer Service dept operation that was a complete mess). Then I got into a small, very unorganized HR office and was read situational questions from a sheet by the HR manager and asst. store manager. Was told they needed to finish the interview process and it would take the rest of the week (this was on a Tuesday), however, I got an offer the next day. Turned it down though because of having to wait and the disorganized mess that was their customer service center.
Interview Question – What was a situation where you failed to deliver on something you promised a customer? What was the situation and how was it resolved? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – HR and customer service seemed to be run poorly, disorganized and simply "going through the motions"

Declined Offer – Interviewed in West Chester, OH (US) – Reviewed May 12, 2013 New
Interview Details I applied online and got a call a couple days later. Came in and got interviews by someone in HR. After that, one of the managers interviewed me and basically asked the same type of questions. Overall it took about an hour, they said they would give me a call in about a week, but instead I got a call in two days.

No Offer – Interviewed in Milan, TN (US) Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 10, 2013 New
Interview Details The interview was done by asking questions off a paper. Instead of giving me a response, the HR Manager and Store Manager just wrote down my answers. I had no idea if they liked my responses or what they thought. It was very impersonal. I felt more like a number and not a person. I think they hired someone already at Lowe's, since they told me that there were a few people there that wanted to interview also. If that's the case, why do they waste people's time?
Interview Question – What does Customer Service mean to you? What was your biggest accomplishment? Answer Question
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Lewisville, TX (US) Oct 2010 – Reviewed May 09, 2013 New
Interview Details To get any kind of response you have to bug the crap out of their HR manager. Doing this will show initiative. Just like any retailer they ask situational questions about your previous job. You usually have about 2-3 different interviews before getting an answer on the position that you are interested in. If you have ever had any experience in the position your applying for it doesn't matter. I have found out that this company will hire anybody for any position.
Interview Question – N/A Answer Question
Negotiation Details – It was very straight forward. At the time they were paying more than any other job I had applied for at the time.

No Offer – Interviewed in Durham, NC (US) Feb 2013 – Reviewed May 06, 2013
Interview Details After Lowe's called me a few times for other positions to just tell me I was being considered for the positions and never get the job nor a phone interview, I finally get a phone interview. Due to me applying for several position about a month or two ago I didn't know which position I was being interviewed for, so my interview didn't get off on the right foot. It was a standard interview and I was told that they will call me back if I got the job. A few days later I get an email saying I was not picked for a job.
Interview Question – Very standard questions about availability, skills, why you want to work at Lowe's. Answer Question
