I have worked at Lowe's part-time for 2 years now as a full-time college student. The first thing that I want to tell college students who are looking for a part-time job with great benefits, THIS IS THE ONE! Lowe's offers tuition reimbursement up to $2,500 every year (up to 5 years, only on tuition (not including fees), books, and required software/programs). Despite the conditions, I have been able to receive this amazing reimbursement check twice already. This is by far the best part-time job that I've had with such amazing support for college students. At the store where I work, my supervisor is very flexible with my school schedule and works me within my availability regularly. I also feel as though I have been paid a fair hourly wage, considering I am only a part-time employee. Lastly, our store has performed so well that we have all been able to receive bonuses each year. Now other than benefits, the work is decent but we are rather busy since the pandemic began in March.
Lowe’s Home improvement was my first job and one of my best jobs I’ve had. They are extremely flexible with your work schedule, especially if you’re in college or have a second job. I’ve moved around in Lowe’s a lot, because I love to learn. I bounced around to different departments just to learn and for experience. I worked in outside garden, flooring, and even lumber. It does get busy and challenging at times but it does bring the best out of you. The company has changed a lot since I’ve been their, but I would still recommend the company!
My experience at Lowe's is largely mixed. On one hand they have done much to protect customers and associates during the Covid-19 pandemic, and have provided bonuses in this time. However, at my particular location, we are riddled with problems in stocking, inventory, and machine operation. Our system inventory rarely aligns with what we currently have on hand, resulting in several instances in which frustrated customers will either complain or storm out. Regarding machine operation, due to the warehouse nature of the home improvement store, it is necessary to have associates with licenses in various machines to retrieve pallets of stock. However, there are very few of such operators on hand, and in the busyness of "power hours," it is very difficult to retrieve product for a customer in a timely manner. Thus, experiences at Lowe's become increasingly frustrating for associates, making them look forward to the end of their shift, and weakening the commitment to customer service.
