Empowering your total well-being
Flexible Schedules
We build jobs that align to your schedule. Our part-time and full-time store roles offer overnight, seasonal, and 4-day workweeks.
Paid Time Off
We offer paid time off for vacation, holidays, sick leave, and volunteer time. Depending on the position and tenure, most full-time associates start with around 10-15 days of combined time off.
Lowe's Employee Relief Fund (LERF)
When unexpected hardships like property damage, family bereavement, or medical expenses appear, we'll be there to help. This fund, supported by both associate contributions and Lowe's matching program, provided over $4.2 million in financial aid to associates and their families in 2022.
Mental Healthcare Access
Through our Employee Assistance Program, you and your family can receive counseling and therapy sessions. We also offer access to parenting and caregiver support services, digital emotional well-being, and addiction support services.
See your health plan
We offer affordable healthcare plans to all regular full-time and part-time associates, including medical, dental, and vision insurance.
Don't just take our word for it. Use our Health Plan Identifier tool to see your specific benefits. All benefits are dependent upon eligibility criteria.
"If people do their research, they will see that Lowe's is one of the best places to work in the U.S. Every time I go to the doctor or optometrist, they always compliment the benefits I have through Lowe's."
