Pros

Up to date on writing a sale, the co workers were awesome, corporate trainer Linda was outstanding!

Cons

When I started working at the Columbus store, . I thought it was the best job of my life and I would retire there. We had at great team and a awesome leader! I loved going to work everyday. We had some small problems but nothing we could't handle. The overall atmosphere was more like family! The manager at the time said no one to many time to the top designer apparently. She in turn did what she had to do to get rid of him! Including writing bogus reviews and complaining to corporate anonymously about him . In the end we all found out that it was her! They brought in a new manager from out of state without warning! As our first introductory meeting she told us all that she was the new cop in town! She became very military like towards all of us and told us it was our fault that we had so many managers there! She said who are they going to believe now since you have had so many managers..you? or me? She did what she had to do including getting in our faces; scare tactics and threatening! She ran all of the old employee's off! Some sadly had been with the company for so many years! This lady didn't care! She was as crude and mean as she could be! Not wanting anyone to remain that she didn't hire....well except the one designer! Also sad that Haverty's use to be a company with high standards and morals values! Now they don't even care about the customers as the new employees are told hound and stock their customers with the new sales tactics! Not only are the employee's gone to new jobs as a customer...I wouldn't want a furniture store to call me over and over and not even let me look through the store without being stocked and bothered!! This new manager also made up her own rules, rules that were against policy of company guide lines...Which is another reason she ran the employee's away...The all had signed work contracts! The old manager wen't by the book of company rules she wanted to enforce her own but in that first meeting a few of the sales people told her about those contracts...she in turn made them sign new ones...and as we all now know she added what she wanted to that paper work...including dispensary actions that never happened so it didn't look like there was no reason for all the old employee's to leave!!! All should join in this law suite against her!!
