Lowe's Home Improvement Compensation FAQ

Pros

This is still one of the best positions at Lowe's; Health Insurance was great but has declined to moderately good at this time; base salary (although low) plus commission; Personal Effort COULD equal great commissions; can work from home (depending on manager); Some good managers, but many have poor management skills.

Cons

Benefits have declined; Multiple changes in district and regional managers has kept the same two cycles over and over just in different names and form(eight managers in 19 years); difficulty in acquiring adequate sub-contractors; Greed- Consistently raising margins when not necessary making it difficult to continue making a decent living; varying degrees of store support depending on Personalities, which many are very poor; expect a 75 to 80 hour work week; Great employees are overworked to compensate for the marginal employees,

Advice to Management

Concentrate on Volume business by creating and providing an exceptional project and an exceptional Customer Experience at a reasonable price. The resulting volume would be a tremendous increase in sales; work at a better Sub-Contractor solution, not a one-and-done customer experience; Great employees are overworked to compensate for the marginal employees. Share more of the profits with the great employees to make their lives truly better and that will make Lowe's a TRULY one-of-a-kind greatest places to work.

Pros

Good periodic gifts and good variable pay on time pay, good culture and not that pressurising.

Do not pressurise a scrum master to just take up more pods n call it an expectation. A scrum master does more than that and please be familiar with agile so that management wouldn't make mistakes in identifying good talent further.
