Hartville Hardware

Working as a delivery helper, you will never get off work on time. The shift is from 7 am to 3:30 pm. Be prepared to come back after 4 pm every day and then pull and open your deliveries for the following day. Even though they made sure I got off on time for class once a week, I couldn't study as much as I wanted to. If you are someone who's in school, I still wouldn't recommend it. Coming home late 1.5 to 2 hrs late five days a week adds up quickly. There was absolutely no diversity here either. They seem very behind in today's world. Overall my coworker was a cool guy. I just seemed frustrated with the job. I am someone who worked out a lot, but this job is a whole different experience. You are taking heavy appliances in and out of homes for 10 hrs a day then coming back to do the following day's work. The pay needs to be higher. You can make more for way less work elsewhere.

I had high hopes when I started working at Hartville Hardware, but unfortunately, my experience didn’t match my expectations. There is little to no room for advancement, which makes it difficult to stay motivated long term. Pay is below industry standards for the amount of work and responsibility expected.

Management tends to prioritize favoritism over qualifications, and decisions often seem based on personal relationships rather than merit. This leads to frustration and a lack of trust within the team. Overall, the environment can feel discouraging for anyone trying to build a career or grow professionally.

Customers are stressful sometimes.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Super nice and Christian environment!!!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Friendly and professional always with all the customers.

Overall it is a wonderful place to work and to shop.  Preference is given to owner family members and it’s very  homogenous in terms of white employees and one prominent religion.  Conservative politically and that is spoken about openly from management on down.  Family members have flexibility in hours and days and vacation and have far more support while nonrelated employees don’t have that flexibility.

What is the best part of working at the company?
If you’re not of Amish order don’t bother 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being under paid for doing your job…. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Clicky !if you’re not Amish you’re worthless… And they seem to stand around, no production

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Running raged

The people are great and have great personalities. Every day is something new and you're able to have fun at your job.  I learned a lot of on the job training regarding the products we sell. You become very educated on the products and how to better assist customers instead of just pointing to where a product is.

I absolutely loved working at Hartville Hardware. The people there were all fun and friendly, it was always a joy to go to work. Because of the environment, we attracted a lot of regular, loyal customers so a day never went by when I did not see someone I didn't recognize. We always got our breaks and the management was very helpful and understanding!

Being a delivery driver comes with many days that are very different.  Yes what we bring to customers is the same, but each house brings a different problems that you have to solve.

Management is very good here, but there is a lack of good communication going on as well.  The hardest part of this job is fitting every big appliance is each persons house, and driving all day.
