I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Knoxville, TN) in Dec 2014
Interview
first initial interview went well, second interview was fine, it was the employment offer that was not a good experience. I was contacted by the HR manager, she then offered me an hourly wage when the position was base plus commission. After I accepted the position I found out that my base was not a base at all but a draw. the management team at Lowe's did not have their facts straight and no one knew what to do when approached about it.
