What Should I Wear to my Lowe’s Orientation?
I was recently hired at Lowe’s as a Head Cashier (supervisor), and I have my orientation scheduled for tomorrow. When I spoke with my boss, he didn’t provide any details about what I would be doing during orientation, nor have I received a uniform. As a result, I’m unsure about what to wear.
Normally, I wouldn’t have difficulty deciding, but I’m currently six months pregnant, and they’re not aware of it. I managed to conceal it well during my interviews, and since they never asked, I didn’t mention it. My pregnancy won’t affect my ability to perform any tasks listed in my job description, but I’d prefer to keep it private until I’ve had the chance to prove myself as a capable employee.
If you’ve worked at Lowe’s before or have experience with their orientation process, I’d greatly appreciate your advice on what’s appropriate to wear and what to expect. Your input would mean a lot—thank you! 😊

I’m a head cashier at Lowe’s. There is no uniform, just a red vest or apron that they supply. There is a dress code but, you’ll be safe with blue jeans and a nice t-shirt or a button down shirt. Your HR guy will give you what you need to know about the dress code. Heads up, though. Go to Wal-Mart and get a pair of Dr Scholl’s $25 shoes. Then go to Walgreens and get some of their name brand insoles for active women. They’re gray & don’t go all the way to the toes. If you don’t have proper foot wear, your dogs will feel like they’re dying. They’ll still hurt for a few weeks & then they’ll start feeling better. Pack Advil. I buy the Wal-Mart version.
For the first few days, you’ll spend a lot of time in the training room, watching videos and taking tests. It is a very physically demanding job. You’ll do lifting, walking, twisting, walking, crouching, walking. Did I mention that you’ll be doing a lot of walking? Oh, and sweating. I would not want to do my job while pregnant. I also wouldn’t want to tell my employer that I need 6 weeks off, less than three months after they spent all that time and money on training me. But I wish you the best. I enjoy my job very much.
Don’t work for Lowe’s…but khaki pants with a white shirt always looks sharp. Would fit in well in any setting. Good luck with your job!
