Review from Sales Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They all need to be replaced since there is little to no leadership in this company. They’re living on the reputati
Review from Sales Dept
Not lying to employees and their customers.
Review from Sales Dept
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?
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
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?
they are professional in most ways. Always will be some laggards, but the company's vetting process is good and we hire the best we can find
Review from Sales Dept
Communication friendly nice people. Love being around them
Review from Sales Dept
Some of my teammates are enjoyable to talk to and are trustworthy teammates
Review from Sales Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
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
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
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?
Everything from training to commission. Respect employees who work hard to make company profits. A lot of back stabbing and favoritism. Need better qualified managers at most locations.
Review from Sales Dept
Less salespeople on the floor and better management. Management always blames salespeople for low numbers but Havertys bad consumer reviews and high prices are to blame for low customer traffic. Fix the internal problems.
Review from Sales Dept
Better management who have real life experience being a salesperson and knowing how hard it is living on their low income.
Review from Sales Dept
Low employee morale needs to improve with better management. Unqualified managers in Orlando Florida market lead to high turnovers.They just dont care about their employees.
Review from Sales Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
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
They'll hire any warm body as long as they pass the drug test. No experience is needed.
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
What makes you most happy at work?
Knowing that I am selling very good quality product and have a superlative customer support team to back me. I like being a hero
Review from Sales Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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.
