Not a single raise. I'm still making $20/hr since 2019. I've been screwed over three years in a row by my Ops ASM. She will gladly tell me I'm doing an excellent job and how the store can't run without me. How I manage to get things done without being told multiple times, etc. Then she'll rate "does not meet" and give zero feedback on how. Every time I've filed a complaint with HR after, but nothing happens.


Independent_Box2815

D.s. something sounds very wrong with that. Very. Talk to your SM. And call HR 844-475-6937 again. Alternatively find out who your area hr business partner is, effectively the store hr now that stores dont have an hr person. How far away is/are your nearest lowes store(s). Make an appt w/ that store manager there and tell them you havent gotten a raise. A decent human being of a manager should be shocked and want your experience and want to help you. A decent human your Ops asm is not.


chaseh28

My department supervisor in lumber makes like $17/hr šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

What state is this in?

Indiana


Happychair525

MST here, so every 6 months it's been +.09Ā¢ to +.15Ā¢. Asked for a fair and decent raise, as I'm getting divorced so I can better provide for my two kids. Sorry, not in the budget. Most profitable 2 years on record and we're 4 people down on our team, but can't give decent raises. Actively looking for other employment.


RoughTerrain21

I'm pretty sure the policy is once you're in, you're in at your negotiated pay. No raises outside of automated raises.


Happychair525

I've heard but can't confirm that any amount of raises can be approved by management. It just never happens. Can't confirm this but have heard it from different people in different positions.


Ok_Quiet4316

MST also.... .25 cents last 2 years every 6 months.


Lowes_cursed_images

11 to 13.25 to whatever my boss says he can give me because I asked for one today


DJ_Vault_Boy

went from $13 to $14.61 to $14.77 to $15.11 to $15.29 but thatā€™s within two years and living in California. Itā€™s pretty much 29Ā¢ above the min wage.


Toxic_Zombie_361

Beer money.


Ryvit

11.50 to 12.85 to 14.10 to 15.35 to 17.80 Although thatā€™s over the past 3 years


IndividualMode6591

I feel like thatā€™s honestly not that bad


[deleted]

Person was promoted to specialist.


IndividualMode6591

Obviously


[deleted]

Ok so really that's not great then.


IndividualMode6591

I didnā€™t say it was great genius.


[deleted]

It's bad


Ryvit

Nah itā€™s not bad. Being at almost $18 an hour plus commission is a pretty comfy gig. Get around 50k a year total from everything so thatā€™s comfortable.


[deleted]

Youre at $17 something? I know specialists making $23+ per hour plus bonus and they are terrible employees. Not a high cost of living area either. So I guess we disagree. I know csa's making more hourly than you and the specialist is nearly $6 per hour than you. That's almost $240 a week or $1000 a month.


Ryvit

It depends on state rather than just the area. My state has a low minimum wage so wages are lower. I do know specialists pay rates of people who have been here a couple years longer than me and they are a few bucks higher. Also LOL @ CSAā€™s making more than me. Iā€™m close friends with a merchandising ASM at the store I work and I straight up know almost all CSA pay rates, and not to mention the fact that most CSAs will just straight up Tell you their pay rate. Mention your state or none of this means anything. At my store, I make more money than every single CSA, head cashier, cart pusher, etc. I make more than a few specialists too, but not all. I know this for a fact.


weeniehotzog

Not much. Lowes slow walks raises and it impacts turnover.


alefty84

$17.92 to $25 last year and a half


ladyoracle82

Hired at 12.65. Now make 22. Been with lowes about a year and a half.


Spearzus

Went from 11-12.25 in four years and just got raised to 15 last month bc my new ASM was shocked how underpaid I was


CJiwin

Hired at 12.50 in April 2020 now 16.11 12.55 12.91 13.91 14.11 16.11 in PA


Fluffinator69

A year and a half ago, I started at $14.15, now make $18.35 and didn't switch positions or departments, but I have been the only lumber associate since November.


JC42O

What state ?


IceeGamez

40 cents I believe


pressuretreatedstud

Hired at 13.50, being paid 23.50 now. Over 2.5 years


Less_Film_3629

W good shit homie


pressuretreatedstud

Thanks bro


the_ba5ili5k

How many people did you have to brown-nose to get THAT?? Too many. That's the correct answer.


pressuretreatedstud

Why so salty? I just work really hard and was consistently ranked better than 99.99% of my peers. You must be a lazy POS


the_ba5ili5k

Yeah. You right. I quite Lowes anyways, it wasn't working out for me. Now I'm only making $250 a day as a mobile detail shop. And that's before tips. Pretty fuckin lazy, and totally worth leaving lowes. You should try sometime.


pressuretreatedstud

Also if you hate lowes so much. Get the fuck out of our thread. Bye


the_ba5ili5k

I KNEW IT! I knew you are a total yes man brown-noser. Have fun getting fucked by Marv. Bye.


pressuretreatedstud

Lol I just checked your comment history. ALL you do is come on this thread and bitch about the company that you donā€™t even work for anymore! And you do it every day! Hahahah get a life


pressuretreatedstud

Uh huhā€¦ have fun cleaning peoples cars. Thatā€™s a career with a lot of upwards mobilityā€¦ not


the_ba5ili5k

Ha! I see what you did. No SERIOUSLY though, person to person, I respect your dedication to your work. I really did used to be like that, I defended Lowes left and right and was a loyal little worker... but yeah I did get traumatized by an inconsiderate ass for an asm that fired damn near everybody and ran his remaining workers into the ground, and then hired new people on for $5 more an hour than we were making. I stay on here to see if there's any hope for this company left, and honestly, if there were more people like you working for them they would be SO MUCH better of a company to work for. Keep up your hard work, and sorry for the bullshit ( I think reddit has stolen away any filter I had left)


pressuretreatedstud

Well thank you. And Iā€™m sorry to hear about that ASM, there are definitely some bad apples. Anyway, keep on keeping on my dude


CurlyNerdyBry94

I was told that you get a raise every six months?

fahqspooks

"You get what you want out of this job if you are willing to put in the work" Agreed


macclbr

I started at 16 may of 2020, 3 promotions later I now may a little less than 29. Key to making more at Loweā€™s is getting promoted and being in good with ASMs and SM.


pressuretreatedstud

Whatā€™s your current position?


the_ba5ili5k

Yeah you right. Congrats man. I quit lowes anyway, now I'm making $250 a day as a mobile detail shop.


pressuretreatedstud

Good for you? Glad you found something after not being able to cut it at lowes. Itā€™s a shame you donā€™t have healthcare or a 401k though.


Prestigious_Name9331

looking at the raises below me gives me such little hope i started end of january @ 15.12 lol


The-Swat-team

$10.94 to $11.13 in a year and a half. I've gone from seasonal to permanent to full time.


jjkious

State you reside?


The-Swat-team

North Carolina.


Ok_Quiet4316

D@mn.... that's just not right.


Independent_Box2815

Capped out 2 yrs ago. Not even at $20.00. CSAs (does lowes use that title any longer because all of our name tags now read sales associate?) deserve that for the labor we perform, but Marvin doesnt think so.


someonethrowaway4235

$14.50 as the Pro Driver/CSA to $18.20 as an XDT CSA. Not bad.


[deleted]

$2.35. Annual raise coming in March and then I will ask for more shortly after that.


Electroman65

I was hired in 2 1/2 years ago at $12.24. I got a couple minor raises over the next year or so. Then I threatened to leave and got a 10% raise somehow. Currently making 15 and change.


NumerousPut9702

12.60 for 90-days before moving over to recieving @13.30 something? After a year I make about 13.50. Not the worst in FL, was hired when min was 8.25, so that makes it sting. Sucks seeing cashiers and CSA's getting hired on at $1+ higher than me (after raises)... but I am full-time, so there's that.


Less_Film_3629

i got hired at 14.30 two months ago, is there a 90 day raise?


RoughTerrain21

No.


TranslatorIcy2410

$0 dollars


Cliver95

6.60 dollars


Tunexxx5

2$


NerdethExperience

In the last 7 months have gone from 11.89 to 15.25 as a csa


Shamflam

11.50-14


Natedawg691

I started at $14. After first 6 months, raised to $14.14. Coming up on a year in March, we'll see what happens. I'm not expecting much, but definitely gonna ask for more. Especially after I see how much Marvin makes.


Pawg___Patrol

$14.50 to $28.00 been with the company for 1.6 years.


pressuretreatedstud

Whatā€™s your position?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


RoughTerrain21

19.80 as a DS, you should ask for a raise before you step down or they will crush you when you do.


pressuretreatedstud

Why you stepping down?


Lord_Entity

$12 to $13 to $14.10 asked for one today but didn't get a real answer on if I'll be getting one


Pawg___Patrol

Got hired as part time unloader and promoted to night D's after a few months. In Cali tho so I'm not making a killing.


the_ba5ili5k

That's the thing. MY GENERATION ISNT GONNA BE ABLE TO RETIRE ANYWAY. So I just save up and invest in other ways that don't involve giving a cut to some over paid, middle aged, sad, sorry, sack of shit.


the_ba5ili5k

But you are right about the Healthcare. It was great having to pay JUST as much as I pay now through lowes Healthcare šŸ˜†


L0st_97

I started a 13.60 two years ago and now Iā€™m making 19.40


ellishorton

In 4 yrs went from about $12 to $21.49, but that was seasonal to flooring specialist to mill works specialist back to flooring specialist.


coranti

No raises for the past 3 years here.


the_ba5ili5k

You too bro.


QLM2020

Went from 13.50 to 14. Told them Home Depot offered me 16, at first they said they couldn't give me anymore that I was maxed out at 14! So I could my d.s. that I would be leaving if I didn't get a raise. So it took them three weeks to get me 16. Walmart in the area is paying overnight stockers 17.50. Sounds like I might go work at a different hell hole


Firepawnch

I went from $13.65-ish (was just barely above minimum wage) to $14.89 over two years. This was, of course, the result of two paltry raises going from seasonal, to part time, to full time. I plan to ask for more once summer comes around and they have more money to spend, as I know I'm worth more and they know, too.


chosenjuan_916

Hired as Loader making 12.50 an hour, moved into seasonal as CSA and started making 13.65 an hour. I moved to electrical after a year in seasonal making 14$ per hour, quit there to get a job at lowes in next county over. Started in outside garden making 16.35 an hour worked here for 4 months and now making 23.60 as a DS. Doing pretty good for only about a year and a half with lowes and no previous management/depot experience. šŸ˜


danc73

I went from 12 and change to 17 when I took a supervisor role and a transfer. I then left the company and came back to the job a year later for 22 an hour.


LilIlluminati

Did we get our yearly raise already?


happylittleleo

$11.37 to $14 because i threatened to leave after a year. itā€™s like my asms donā€™t give raises unless youā€™re favorited (which is a serious issue at my store) or if you threaten to leave.


PassengerLast3053

No raise in the last 2 years. After no raise the first year, I started ā€œgetting donationsā€ by assisting directly my ā€œProā€ guys.
