Review from Sales Dept
Not lying to employees and their customers.
Review from Sales Dept
Their is no leadership team only ignorant mangers running the company into the ground and screwing over their hard working employees.
Havertys needs to look out for the employees that work hard every day and stop worrying about the ones that kiss up to them. Been there too long and seen too many hard-working individuals leave because they were underappreciated or because they were not taken care. Incredibly turnovers in company.
Review from Sales Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The 401k and guidance resources
Hard work makes good pay
matching 401K and their health plan options give you either inexpensive or very comprehensive choices. Prices are very reasonable
Review from Sales Dept
The better we are at our job the better we get paid.
Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Havertys needs to pay on written business not delivered since they clearly have lots of problems in the warehouse delivering damaged and repaired merchandise.
Review from Sales Dept
Sales staff is commission pay upon delivery of products. Low inventory and out of stock items prevent salespeople from getting paid until product arrives and gets delivered. We should get paid on written sales since we have no control over corporate incompetence in maintaining stock levels.
Review from Sales Dept
Making a decent salary for the long hours put in and every weekend and holiday working for Havertys. $12. hour is not a decent wage since commission is rare due to low traffic and sales in stores.
Review from Sales Dept
Havertys makes all employees feel like they are easily replacable. They allow male employees to view adult x x x videos on sales floor who then threaten female employees that report it. Male dominated thought process HR does nothing to correct situation . Very uncomfortable work environment.
You dont take care of your internal customers who are your employees instead take advantage of them until they burn out & quit. High turnovers doesn’t help your downward spiral reputation with cheaper fur
Review from Sales Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Some good people work there
They are positive, driven and selfless
Socializing with each other and customer s.
Support for one another and some compassionate peoole
We work together for a common goal
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
To work as effectively and efficiently as I do. Because if my GM, some of my co workers feel as though they aren’t responsible to do much wo
Sales managers need to stop stabbing their employees in the back for brownie points. Stop making it all about you to move up in the company. Without your team of salespeople you won’t be a manager to anything. Be part of the team that made the company successful not part of the failing manageme
Review from Sales Dept
Long boring scripted meeting are not going to improve sales. Low traffic and sales creates a hostile work environment with everyone trying to get a sale any way they can.
Review from Sales Dept
Worthless boring meetings and goal grow plans. Ineffective when company cant deliver undamaged furniture. Managers need to get rid of shark salespeople taking other's customers and stop texting friends at work. Not helping their sales staff.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The environment in my store
Positive growth culture and great training program
The management is very positive and almost inspiring
Lots of training, both at the start and ongoing We are held accountable for our actions with customers. Lots of feedback, both positive and negative which foster growth.
Review from Sales Dept
Every one is focused on doing their job.
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Teach people how to be civil with coworkers and let them know we are a team
Leadership is definitely lacking in leadership in general but some are even dishonest and counterproductive to a good work environment
More fair for all employees
Cleaning supplies and proper sanitation along with more pay
The management team needs to appreciate what we do.
What did you like most about the interview process?
The positivity as the people join the interviewing
The whole process took a month
It was easy and straight forward
The interview was never the problem. I was excited to be apart of Havertys family and to show off my skills. It’s now, when the management team treats us as an ant fa
I have been there for a long time. It is different now. More hoops to jump through. It is very cumbersome now because company does not want to waste resources on poor hires. I think the current process is not efficient, time wise.
Review from Sales Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Scripted interview with manager that acted like she was untrained and not very bright. Poor management is the first impression a new employee and customers see.
Review from Sales Dept
GM should be more personable and not read scripted questions word from word. Interviewing GM seemed inexperienced and questions did not seem to address my 20+ years in successful sales jobs.
Review from Sales Dept
The manager used scripted questions in the interview process. She did not seem knowledgeable to be a manager. I could not work under a manager with less skills than a 9th grade education needing a script to interview college educated applicants.
Review from Sales Dept
Hire managers who are better educated and not using outdated scripted interview material.
What makes you most happy at work?
Excitement of customers receiving their goose
Being able to make customers and my team happy
Getting off at a reasonable time
Making customers happy and doung well
Getting the job done on time
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Again, the management needs to appreciate what we do. The morale in the building is very low
Lack of products in stock. Sales staff only get paid when products are delivered. Months struggling with bills due to low pay. Pay on written not delivered. Replace good old boys who forgot how to effectively run a profitable business.
Review from Sales Dept
Its just a temporary job since there is no future working at Havertys. Definitely not a career job. There doesn’t seem to be any way to improve the company when they don’t invest back into having sustainable stock levels. They need to hire better managers and HR staf
Review from Sales Dept
Haverty Furniture Companies (NYSE:HVT), The Stock Dropped 14% In The Last Five Years. They seem to be struggling to stay in business. Little advertising and pushing online sales not thought through is weighing down on company profits.
Review from Sales Dept
CEO along with Corporate management and investors cashing in their stock investments from Haverty due to slow business and little sales. Not investing back into fulfilling inventory. Hiring employees with criminal records in warehouse. Unsafe uncomfortable environment not knowing who you work with
