Ace Hardware Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Dental is included in my comp package

I like that they NOW offer some dental, vision, and insurance options

We have a very liberal time off policy as well as maternity leave.

its a basic compensation package

The 401k matching is good

There is no compensation package

Review from Product Dept

Have a excellent retirement package

Keeping your work environment Squared away and keep clean

Part time dont have one

Pay is equal to or great than others in the industry.

it does the job i suppose

Just to have 401k retirement is good.

They go above and beyond to give whats fair to the employees

Nice and really cool package

Multiple benefits package options, excellent subcontacting

medical and dental benefits and the discounts on merchandise

It would be paid time off

i like the paid vacation time

Review from Sales Dept

i like working towards the quarterly bonuses

I enjoy having a flexible schedule.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I feel valued because the amount of work they expect from you and what they pay you isn't even close to being fair

at least, some attempt at a raise.

It would be nice to be treated and supported from the owners

Have more respect around the building. For customers and coworkers.

I bring a lot to the table. I get good hours but I've tried for a raise for a while but to no prevail.

More and more responsibility was piled on top of me with no extra pay, taking charge of multiple departments at once. I was scheduled sometimes 12 days in a row, but not paid overtime, because the "split" at the week change would invalidate it. Better payment/work conditions would feel better!

Review from Operations Dept

Not being verbally attacked on a daily basis. Not being lied to and refused my earned time off or paystubs. Being aware of laws regarding paystubs and allowing employees off for court mandated appearances.

Personal paid time off would be a healthy benefit for team moral.

Review from Product Dept

They never give reviews or raises

Being treated like a person

they need to pay more cause people do way more then they need to at my store and get paid shit. me included

I feel that the hourly wage is not competitive with similar types of jobs in the area.

Need more hours and there isnt nah

Yes, I am a very hard worker and im very committed to what I do. If I'm going to work some where, then I want to help make improvements. I dont think I am fairly paid for the above average amount of effort and brain power I put into my work.

Our store pay topped out at $12.50 an hour which is challenging since most other stores in the hardware industry offer nearly $15 per hour

It is great to have.

Would just like to make a little more

Review from Sales Dept

The amount of work I was expected to do for minimum wage is insane. We were also forced to chase down shoplifters. Ive had knives pulled on me and got in trouble for not confronting or getting back stolwn merchandise.

Review from Sales Dept

Most employees are students who get paid unfairly. Competing companies offer at least $3 more per hour.

I make $435 a paycheck working full time. That isn’t enough to afford rent anywhere in this country let alone food and electricit
