Meanwhile, like the OP, I am still wondering about the original
question: Does anyone know whether the sales staff at Lowe's are paid
on commission or not?

When I worked at Lowes 2 years ago, the only sales people that got a
commission were the ones that worked in commercial sales. Some
departments got a bonus if their overall sales were really good.
However things at Lowes change constantly so an answer to the question
this week may not be true next week.

Did commercial sales include the millwork desk?

Since contractors often deal directly with the millwork desk as
opposed to shopping the aisles and talking to the downsized systems
analyst trying to bridge the gap until true retirement, I can easily
see the millwork desk being part of the group that get commissions.

I think I know someone who still works in millwork. I'll check.

OK, finally an answer to your question straight from a local Lowes
millwork employee. It applies to all Lowes departments.

-They do not get a commission on store stock items.
-They do get a commission on special order items and installation.
-The commission is not on total sale price. It is a percentage of the
markup percentage. In other words, two items both priced at $500, one
having a markup of 15% and the other having a markup of 30%, would
result in a diffferent commission for the employee.
-Based upon that info, employees may be inclined to push installation
and when special ordering items they may recommend the higher markup
items. But buying in-store doors & windows would not make any
difference.
Hope this helps.
