Uncertain, ever changing org structure, hire and fire - Software Engineering Manager Lowe's Home Improvement Employee Review

good pay and training for heavy equipment is provided

boring and slow in the evening

Good opportunity to learn about tools, DIY projects, and get experience in retail sales.

This particular store has toxic management style, he leads with tattle-tell fear mentality instead of collaborative and helpful training approach. He takes terrible advantage of his elderly employees. Female employees are expected to clean up after the men in the break rooms and after meetings. Upon hiring for part-time they will immediately schedule you for just under full time hours. due to being constantly short staffed. I also witness firsthand, managers hiding things from employes to, "teach then a lesson." It was very sad to see this especially in a small town that doesn't have many job opportunities to begin with. When I transferred from another Lowes, this one made me take a pay cut even though I had more skills than most of the employees in this store (glass cutter, pipe cutting, wood cutter, key machine, lifts, front loaders, etc.)
