Rockys Ace Hardware Reviews

Pros

There is a lot of training and I learned a lot about household fixes. Everyone I worked with was friendly and cared about me.

Cons

It is tiring to be on your feet all day. Retail is not for everyone. Some customers can be terrible to deal with, I could send them to the manager, but if I moved up, it could be stressful to listen to all of the customer complaints.

Pros

Learn a ton of practical knowledge, hours can be flexible if you're in school, a few good co-workers can make it more than bearable.

Cons

It's mostly customer service so you'd better hope the regulars are friendly. Most training is reserved for management so it takes awhile to pick up on things. Experience mostly depends on your manager for better or worse. Upper management is a little too buddy-buddy. Oh and most clientele are middle aged and up so expect some sexism if you're a girl.

Pros

Paycheck... Not a big check but a check just the same.

Cons

Poor Life / Work balance Minimal benefits Little appreciation Executive arrogance is abundant

Pros

With a good attitude and hard work, it is easy to advance within the company. I have seen employees raise their rank like myself. Good benefits. Very good training for staff and a great community within the company.

Cons

Retail is not for everyone. Busy work days are on the weekends

Pros

Hours are better than many other retail stores. They offer great training for their managers.

Cons

They don't pay enough to be able to get decent people and keep them. Turn over is high even in store level management.
