Lowe's is proud to share that its associates have awarded the brand the prestigious 2024 'Great Place to Work' certification, marking a significant milestone in its history. The certification, a testament to associate commitment, is the first of its kind for Lowe's in the United States*. 

Great Place to Work, a leader in data collection, analysis, and benchmarking of employee sentiments, is the sole certification based on employees' reporting of their workplace experience. More than 10,000 companies in 60 countries apply each year, with only the cream of the crop rising to the top to secure the coveted certification.  

More than 1,000 Red Vest associates were surveyed, and 71% said Lowe's is a great place to work, 14 points higher than the 57% surveyed at a typical U.S.-based company. Here are some other highlights from Lowe’s associates:  
 

79% - When you join the company, you are made to feel welcome. 

77% - I am able to take time off from work when I think it's necessary. 

77% - I feel good about the ways we contribute to the community. 

76% - I can be myself around here. 

75% - When I look at what we accomplish, I feel a sense of pride. 

In their own words, this is why associates think Lowe's is a great place to work.  
 

Lowe's is a great place to work because of opportunities for growth, and I have a lot of great mentors in the company and if you tell them what you want, they're going to get you there. As long as you show them the drive and the ambition and within yourself, they're absolutely going to get you where you want to be.

What's kept me for here for 30 years? There's many reasons. The ability to do different things with the company, to be able to say yes to opportunities when they presented themselves to me over the years has really energized me. I've had great opportunities to learn different things and expose myself to different roles over the years, and I've really appreciated those opportunities to move up.

What makes Lowe's a great place to work is really the collaboration between different departments and different individuals. It's really refreshing to be able to reach across in different departments and be able to talk to them and get things done as a team and be able to accomplish a lot. So as the lead of university and military recruiting, we have a lot of different departments across Lowe's that we work with to be able to accomplish our goal. And having that collaboration is key for not only our success as a team, but also our success as Lowe's.
