Elders Ace Hardware

A typical day was pretty calm. I learned how to balance work and life at a young age. Management was approachable but maybe a little too relaxed at times. The culture was questionable. There was a clear separation between the part-time high schoolers and the full-timers. When I went full-time during the summer my treatment was shifted a little. The hardest part was working during the summer, being outside constantly, and having to load bags of cement and mulch all day for disrespectful customers. They make the guys do all that in the southern heat while the female employees are payed the same to flirt with the old people buying seeds and fixing their chainsaws. The most enjoyable part of the job was being told good job and of course clocking out knowing you worked hard. Paychecks were good for high school but I was definitely promised raises that never happened.

Overall, a typical day at work would be either slow during the week and soon became a fast paced environment during the spring whenever people wanted to work on their houses and yard. I learned a lot about tools and fixing houses up as far as what people needed to get. The managers there was very outgoing and they weren't always serious with their employees, only when they needed to be. The workplace culture was very festive, they would decorate the store for the holidays and the managers would always bring tasty treats in for everyone to try. The hardest part was just dealing with rude customers, but I'm sure I will have to deal with that no matter where I work. The most enjoyable part of the job was the unlimited popcorn we could eat and also serve the customers.

Terrible place, many people are quitting after elders took over, they make you do things they don’t wanna do and leave you with all the stuff, you’ll lose hours out of no where and when you say something about it they say it’s a typo. They will fix it and take it right back away. They have some of the weirdest things running that store and it’s a joke, they have spy’s watching you, you can’t stand around or your in trouble can’t conversate with workers, can’t clock in early and you have to use a full 30 minute break, the company is a joke and they just don’t want to pay you. Watch how many new staff members there will be soon..

No matter if you’ve been there two years or two months, the people at ace hardware are there for you through it all. I never felt out of place or uncomfortable. The management was wonderful. It was my first job at 16 years old, then I tried a few different jobs after that, but came straight back to working at ace. Worked there for four years and loved every second! 

overall an amazing job, very laidback but when comes to pay it is honestly sad. our company takes pride in service and and our knowledge yet does not pay for that skill. Our has high expectations on newer employees but when it does come to the people that have worker for years in higher positions get away with very little work. I loved this job but it has some major flaws due to lack of strictness on longer employees. 

working at ace hardware i learned a lot about how to balance work and life however, i found that the work environment was poorly constructed. personally, i use to overhear my fellow coworkers talking about me and other workers in a negative way. No matter how hard i pushed myself to be the best, there was always negative criticism. the only thing i liked about the job was the pay rate.

Elders ace hardware is a great place to work. It offers knowledge that will help you later in life and is a great starting job for anyone going into the working force. You will also meet a lot of interesting people and learn even more people skills to help them

Good place for highschool college to get some knowledge on home repair.  But very little movement up. 
Associates are helpful and friendly but often times stores are under staffed and stretched thin between projects in the store,  events coming up,  sales,  and  training updates.  
Usually small crews like 7 people and only one or two of the shift is certified so they're very stressed

Really good place to work for, as long as you show you are willing to work you have a good chance in moving up in management, that being said it has been tough to get raises at times, they tend to tell you they will and don't. Other than that pretty good especially for a first job and you will learn a lot. 

All of the mid-managers need to get fired. They are sneaky and obnoxious people with zero people skills. They will set you up to fail and sabotage you every chance they get.
