I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Marion, IN) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview process was perfectly fine, but what wasn’t fine was the background check process. Lowes goes out of their way to mention the fact that they proudly incorporate a diverse group of people in their staff, and that it is encouraged for them to hire people, regardless of their record within reason. While answering the questions for the background check, it asked me to type in any felonies or misdemeanors that I have on my record, except for any traffic violations. I did exactly what was asked. After days of confusion and misunderstandings I received an email stating that I would not be considered for any opportunities at Lowes due to the information found on my background, check in regard to drug and alcohol. Needless to say this company talks to talk, but they surely don’t walk the walk. They falsely advertise taking diversity in account when hiring. This not only made me feel more embarrassed about my past than I already was, but also very upset for having to waste my time on a company that clearly doesn’t care about integrity and lies to look good to people applying. Telling me to leave out any traffic violations then using my traffic violations against me is low to say the least.

Question 1
Please list any felonies or misdemeanors you have on your record except for any traffic violations.
very easy. It was more like a conversation rather than an interview. Got hired on the spot. It seems like they were desperate for workers. Pay is good being pro services associate it more challenging than a regular associate
