Lowe's Gears Up for Spring - Plans to Hire 30,000 Employees
Thursday, January 22, 2015 at 4:46PM Lowe’s has announced plans to hire 30,000 employees in its US stores for Spring 2015. These seasonal jobs will be focused on customer service, and most employees will work 20 or more hours per week. The company is hiring and training new employees on a market-by-market basis. Hiring has already begun in the warmer climate states of Florida, California, Texas and Arizona.
"As spring arrives, our stores are stocked with products homeowners use for their indoor and outdoor projects. To help make shopping and selection easier, we want our stores staffed with knowledgeable employees who'll provide exceptional service for customers," said Scott Purvis, Lowe's vice president of human resources operations.
Home Depot hired 80,000 seasonal workers in winter/spring 2014, and analysts predict to see Home Depot follow Lowe’s with its own hiring uptick this year.
Lowe’s has more than 1,800 home improvement stores.
