| How Old To Work At Lowes Hardware |
The Age-Old Question (Literally)
Lowe's, like many a workplace, has a minimum age requirement. But fear not, aspiring home improvement hero/heroine! The answer isn't carved in stone (although you might find a decent selection of chisels for that project). Generally speaking, Lowe's asks that you be at least 18 years old to work in their stores. This applies to most hourly positions – gotta keep those cash registers in experienced hands.
However, there's always a "but"...
Teenage Titans, Assemble? (Maybe Not)
While 18 is the usual benchmark, whispers on the internet (reliable source, always) suggest that some Lowe's locations might hire 16 or 17 year olds. This usually comes with asterisks though. You might be restricted from certain tasks, like operating heavy machinery (don't worry, your dreams of piloting a forklift can wait).
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
The best course of action? Head down to your local Lowe's and chat with the friendly folks in the hiring department. They'll give you the straight scoop on their specific age requirements and what stellar qualities they're looking for in their new team members.
Bonus tip: Being a fast learner with a willingness to help (and maybe some upper body strength for all that lifting) will definitely put you in a good light.
Lowe's lingo lesson: What's an "hourly position" anyway?
An hourly position simply means you get paid by the hour you work. Perfect for those who crave schedule flexibility (think evening shifts or weekends to accommodate school).
