I worked there 2 summers as a night stocker. First summer was great my boss pulled some strings to let me work 7.5 hour shifts instead of 8 so I could get off in time for my other job at 6. show up, he would say, XYZ isles need stocked, pull pallets and stock them. be safe. and we would move pallets of stuff from the back to our isles, throw in IPODS, and start running up and down the stair ladder things stocking the over heads. at about 2 or 3 he would come around and give us a soda and tell us take lunch. we would take lunch, the back at it. we usually cleaned the back of th estore out. that store had one of the highest profit margins of ANY lowes in the nation.
2nd summer new night manager. no Ipods, no shorts, he could crank up the store music you knew what time it was by the EXACT SAME SONG, he total micromanaged people, they could be throwing up 4 or 5 pallets a night of heavy stuff and he would make fun of them. I personaly threw up 9 pallets in one night of heavy stuff and he said I wasnt working hard enough. I told him to piss off and threw a 10th. stewed, clocked out, I was quitting and let me out of the store. , he refused to unlock the door. I politely informed him that I knew EXACTLY where the axes were and he had until I got back from gardening and I would be walking out that door. he saw me walking back with a nice estwing and unlocked and opened the door. another guy left with me. I refuse to shop there any more, home depot gets my money now.
all about the boss. boss one did his job, and made goals happen. boss 2 not so much.
