I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement
Interview
Lowe's interviews in tandem and they use an awful process of basically writing your entire statement down so they can analyze it for a score and not making conversation so as to remain "fair" between candidates, which can create long silent gaps if you quit speaking. In the end they choose a candidate based on very specific criteria to a set number of questions regardless of experience or knowledge. So if you get the interview just pay attention to the question and answer well and you can beat someone who will actually perform circles around you in the actual job.
The questions themselves are quite standard and easy if you have experience in sales, customer service, or management.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to address performance issues with an employee?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Anchorage, AK) in Oct 2024
Interview
I had 2 interviews. First interview with the Lowe's recruiter and she was super and in the end explained that she would assist/be an advocate to get me close to the annual salary I desired. She forwarded me to the SSM for an in person interview at the store. He gave a really fair and hard question interview. He took the time to get to know my style of leadership and welcomed ideas that I shared with him in my past positions. I got an offer and I asked both SSM and recruiter if we could get closer to my desired annual salary. Both were gracious and forwarded my counteroffer to higher powers at be. Painless negotiation and in the end, I accepted their final offer, they met me 97% of what I asked for and the ability to bonus 2 times a year has me way over my compensation. I am excited to become a part of the Lowe's family.

Interview
The interview process was short and sweet. The store manager and HR asked a series of questions and asked for specific examples. The questions were mostly "tell me about a time when...." type of questions.
