You’re right. They just said a Manager role starts at 80k....

Customer service is way better than Home Depot

Buddy of mine has great wlb

I recently spoke with someone on that team.

Sounds like WLB may have been better in years past, but not as good in the last 6 months.

That's not to say it isn't good, just that it has changed.

On the flip side, I was told the work is now much more meaningful and has greater visibility with the C-suite...as opposed to the work done previously, which was described to me as being 'outsourced PowerPoint construction for other teams'.

Apparently they have a new VP of Strategy, who came from Home Depot, so what they work on has been changing.

They only other thing that I can speak to is that despite having generally good performance, Lowe's seems to be trailing really far behind Home Depot in many areas. It seems this is very apparent to Lowe's senior leadership, so they are working to rectify that.

Whether that's good or bad is probably a bit subjective and will depend a lot on what type of job you are looking to have.
