A few prima donna old timers bully away new talent-and it's approved of by management
Pros
Eh, you CAN make decent money there, some months, but not enough to outweigh the bad months and the overall feeling of being and under appreciated and underpaid employee.
Cons
It is possible to make decent money here, but you have to put in so many hours, you must work every holiday (with the exception of Christmas Day, Thanksgiving and Easter), every weekend, 45-55 hours a week, that you begin to question if it's even worth it. Another huge problem with this company is that it is so incredibly shortsighted. Rather than looking toward the future, and cultivating a new generation of managers and leaders in the company, they choose to side with, collude with, and perpetuate the mentality of 'old timers are always right'-even when they're not! The who have been working at Havertys a long time do NOT want to relinquish any of 'their' customers, pay, authority, favoritism, etc, and therefore they simpler freeze out and run off anyone who they feel even remotely intimidated by, and then the higher ups wonder why they can't cultivate any new talent?? It's so predictable and sophomoric that one would THINK management would do something about it, but instead they choose to look the other way. Why do they look the other way? Because the tenured employees perform many of the menial tasks that management doesn't want to do, and so it's very much an 'I'll scratch your back, if you scratch mine' mentality.
