Lowe's Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Standard interview for retail industry. Interview was two part conducted back to back with HR and assistant manager. The total process lasted about 45 minutes. Behavioral style questions..."Tell me about a time you went out of your way to satisfy a customer." Call back with job offer within 5 days. Not difficult, just make good eye contact and answer the questions as specifically as possible.

Interview Details The training is horrible for the company once hired. The hiring process is becoming easier, they are starting to hire anyone because they are cheaper. You meet with HR then store manager if available or will just meet with any manager at all.

Negotiation Details – N/A

Interview Details In person interview with HR, then interview with the Department manager

Negotiation Details – Computer system calculates pay based on experience

Interview Details Basic questions that any middle schooler could answer...literally.

Negotiation Details – Straight forward. They ask to probe for range.

Interview Details This was a few years ago. I had a telephone interview which graduated to in person. Then interview with corporate, then drug test. I think they were very in depth and they had the previous Live Nursery Specialist grill me which was exceptional thinking since most corporate still have no clue what this job is about.

Negotiation Details – They offered what I was making at my previous job but considerably less hours. I didn't need to negotiate. They were very accommodating.

Interview Details Best interview I've ever had!

Interview Details Applied online for the position. I expected that it would take a while to hear back but to my surprise I was contacted the next evening and asked to come in for an interview. I am currently employed so she was very friendly and asked when would be a good time for me as she didn't want to interfere with my job. I was off the following day so surprisingly she set me up for the following morning at 9AM. I was told that i would interview with her and the Store Manager. I arrived a few minutes early and approached customer service as she requested. The young lady let me know that she didn't think she was in and called back to ask someone. She finally asked the manager himself and it was clear that we wasn't even aware that he'd have an interview that day! Excellent communication and preparation... She arrived after a short wait and I had to sit outside her office while she printed the required forms for the interview. The interview itself was neither difficult or exciting. The company uses an 8 question structured interview. He and her took turns reading questions from a document and writing answers; such as "How would you handle an inventory issue?" or "Tell me about a time when you led your team to accomplish an overwhelming workload. " They were all common situational questions to gauge people and retail skills. They briefly discussed what I was looking for in pay and where I worked. They also asked about my typical schedule and were quick to inform me that the job included mostly late nights until midnight or later and weekends. They gave each other the unspoken "glance" when I mentioned that I normally worked mostly days in my current position but I'd expected that there would be more nights. This almost made the job undesirable for me, not because of the hours but because of their attitude about the position. It made me feel as if they were looking down on the Assistant Managers if their operation. They advised that each interview was given a score based in the answers and that the job typically goes to the highest score. They also said that company policy requires that atleast 3 interviews must be conducted for each open position before a hire can be made. I was not impressed by the interview and had already decided that I'd probably not accept the position if offered. I am an experienced Manager with 15 years behind me. I conduct interviews every day and never want to give the impression that I received. I received an email thanking me for my interest but we are "pursuing other candidates" the following week.

Interview Details Same old interview as with every other retail job. If you have common sense and are friendly with the HR person this shouldn't be a problem. And try to show individuality, it makes them remember you.

Interview Details typical questions nothing hard. they will not talk about wages until your background review and get the drug test results back then the will call you back in and offer you a wage.

Negotiation Details – there is no negotiating your wage, the company calls this far wage policy.
