Havertys reviews

Prospecting is very hard to do unless you have been there a very long time. It's 100% commission which can get very frustrating at times if you go days on end without a sale. The company really should put it's employees on an hourly wage on top of commission but I feel they would never even consider that. Also have to work long hours on the weekends, but that comes with working in retail. The job isn't for everybody and sometimes it can get discouraging if you are not making big sales.

You will work 7 days per week on commissions to make less than a person at a convenience store. Commission are only paid once per month and often time the merchandise is out for 4 to 6 weeks so you don't get paid for 2 or 3 months on sales. When starting they said a sales person can expect 6 ups (customer a day) all of us who are working 6 and 7 days per week average 2 customer per day. You will go broke working here. They withhold your first check for 6 weeks. And in some cases if you sell something at the end of the month, you'll get paid your commissions 3 months later on that sale. Management makes sales staff pay for customers bottles of water when they ask for water. If they give a customer any discount it is deducted out of your commissions. I came to this company with 20 years of sales experience and I now make in one month what I was easily making in 2 weeks at other places. When you leave this company, they will not pay your last check till 6 weeks after or even longer. We have had upset former employees who's complained about this regular I now know of 2 long term sales people who've downsized their homes and 3 employees that have lost their car because they couldn't afford the payments.
