Interview at Lowes....what would you think?

[DisneyGirl421]

That's very odd. I worked at Lowe's over the summer (as a seasonal employee) and found out right away if I was offered the job or not. It took about two-ish weeks before I was actually 'working'-working because of all the paperwork and drug tests and such, but I knew my pay and expected hours right off the bat.
*shrug* I guess it's different from store-to-store.
I'm actually go back there again this summer, because they pay extremely well. I got $8.68/hr last summer and worked 20-25 hour weeks, and from past employee's experience, I can expect to get probably at least $9.50 the second summer. So as a poor college student, I love this job (pay and work time, not the actual job... lol)

no, I turned it down. The HR guy never did call so I called him on Monday (about 1 week after the girl called to set up orientation) I told him I had been waiting to hear back for 2 weeks and he said, "oh yeah, you have the job but you need a drug test so when can you come in for that?" So I proceded to tell him I know nothng about the position, the money, hours benefits etc and he says "if you want to come in we can talk about it" I told him I would rather get the info right now on the phone and turns out he could only guarantee 10 hours per week. I need at least 20 hours, preferably 26 - 28 but he said no so I turned it down. I also told him I thought that the whole thing was handled unprofessionally

Today I got a postcard in the mail from Lowes that said they received my application and could not offer me a position at the moment. Mailed from the store I interviewed at, the day after my conversation with the HR guy Yeah okay...except that I turned down your offer!

It's better in the long run I guess, because I really would rather get out of retail anyway. Thanks for asking!

Wow, that almost sounds like the manager was covering himself. I would almost want to call corporate and make sure that they didn't make some sort of notation on your application after the fact, so you can't apply in the future!
