True Value Employer Reviews

From the minute you are in the door it's go go go.......Quality and production standards are next to impossible to hit...somehow I manage. Coworkers hog the easy assignments. Every one is out for themselves. No team players.

Let me put very simple. Loved my co-workers did not like my boss. Not a good place to work if you like your wife and kids. Way to much travel for a job as a paint consultant of a hardware brand paint. They will never compete with Lowes and Home Depot. 8 Reps for the entire country does not cut it. If they had 3 for each territory then the job would – more... of been 50/50 work and family not 90/10 work and then family. – less

I've been at this job for almost a year and only make $8. I cashier, re-stock and do whatever miscellaneous task asked of me. I always show up on time, and never complain. Not saying I deserve $15+ an hour, but $8 is just not enough. My friend works at a thrift shop that's non-profit and his starting salary is more than what I currently make.

The place – more... is also poorly run by the management. We get more things we already have and none of what we need. We're always understaffed (I've been called in on my off days more times than I can count), and since I've been there, they've gone through 14 employees, and I've been there 10 months. – less

Filled orders at outside warehouse. Went to Main warehouse to do Inventory Control after orders were done. Could help fill orders in all areas of warehouse when needed. Could hand or lift stock in all areas of warehouse.

Every time I work, I do many transactions as customers purchase items. I have very good conversations with many customers and have built very strong relationships with many employers. I have learned how to operate the cash register, deal with many different customers, and many items a hardware contains. At times I may not know as much as many other – more... co-workers that have been working there for a longer time than me, but I always keep my head up and always strive to keep on learning as well as becoming a better employer. The best part about my job is the many relationships I gain and the knowledge I develop. – less

Job requires me to set up schedule for the Merchandiser, and work with store ownership and management to implement the progression of the job (job can differ depending on if it is a new store, store relocation, or just a full store remodel). I work with hard working merchandisers from all over the country that are employed by my company. The hardest – more... part of my job is making sure the delivery schedule for stock orders and instore racking is timely and complete. If I have learned anything from this job, it is that with so many moving parts things rarely go exactly to plan. One of the challenges that makes the job so interesting is the requirement of having to adjust on the fly, and keep everything moving along smoothly, no matter what unexpected problem may arise. There has been nothing more rewarding in my working life than the kind words I receive from past project owners whenever there is a holiday or my birthday. I keep in touch with as many as possible, and it tells me that I had a good effect on their life and livelyhood that many still take the time out of their day to send me a kind word, even if has been years since I helped them with their stores. – less

From the minute you are in the door it's go go go.......Quality standards are next to impossible to hit...somehow I manage,it's not the speed I have a problem with.I work very well in a fast paced work environment.My job is very physically demanding,and I do worry sometimes about long term effects on my body.

You have to be in with management to get ahead! Same old job day in and day out.

I open the lumber yard each morning and assist customers with their project needs, commercial or DIYer alike. Since starting I have learned inventory management, shink control, and how to deligate tasks to other employees. Management is willing to listen to your ideas and allow you to incorperate your ideas into the everyday workings of the store. My – more... co-workers are willing to help and are specialized in their field. There is no hard parts to the job, simply stay on top of tasks and always be sure the customer is satisfied with their experience. I most enjoy seeing a customer get exactly what they were expecting when they arrived. – less

A good job if you like to be outside. The job was very autonomous. There was a list of things that would need to be done and it was up to you what and when you did them.

cashing out customers
helping them with their projects such as piping, sewer, etc.
stocking shelves
mixing paint

Company overworks and has little to no compassion for employees

Great place to work if you are not concerned about having a home life. But if you are trying to lose a pound or two you can diffently loose them here.

It was a nice place to work while I was in school, but the money wasn't coming in how I wanted it too. I learned a lot of different tools and how to use a computer, register, key machine, paint machine, and cutting pipe.

Overall, a great place to work with the public to help with a whole variety of issues, from the kitchen sink, to lighting, and lawn upkeep.
