The more I research Lowes Home Improvement Stores on Google the more it becomes apparent that Lowes has complete disregard not pnly for their customers but also for their employees. Using the search term "Lowes Complaints" Google returned over 22,000 results. When I used the search term "Lowes Class Action Lawsuits" Google returned over 300,000 results.
It would appear that the Lowes Home Improvement chain has a history of not doing the right thing such as unfair labor practices, cheating their employees out of their overtime and problems with honoring warranty service on the products that they sell and the shoddy word by their installers.
Don;t take my word for it go here and see for yourself: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7GGLJ&q=Lowes+Home+Improvement+Class+ACTION+Lawsuit
This is not just happening in one store or one region but instead appears to be a common business practice of attempting to cheat both employees and consumers alike.
Lowes serves some 13 million customers each week in their 1000+ locations and throughout you will find a constant hot bed of legal problems and substantiated lawsuits.
Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg. Many of Lowes' lawsuits go unpublished and are settled quietly out of sight from the public.
Ineffective store management may be partially to blame due to indifference to correcting blatant problems. I have read everything from sexual harassment to Lowe's management refusal to put an end to some employees' commission by using phoney refund-re-bill techniques that have continued for a year after management was notified.
Can Lowes be this dirty?
In a recent EEOC lawsuit http://www.waemploymentlawblog.com/blog/2008/02/lowes-store-in.html a Longview, Washington Lowes Home Improvement store was described as a cesspool of sexual harassment that was out of control.
The more I research this company the worse they appear.
