After working in a grocery store for four years, becoming a part of the culture at Ace Hardware was exactly the change of pace for me! With flexible scheduling, good pay, and a great work environment, I have been able to maintain a primary focus on my undergraduate studies, while still gaining experience in the real world, and making valuable connections with new people. Everybody that I work with is very friendly, and willing to help, whether it be training new employees or lending any type of helpful hand that they can to customers. A strong work ethic is encouraged, and the pay is very competitive for the area of work of which it is a part. All in all, working for Ace Hardware has provided me with a valuable experience, being able to help customers and make a difference, all while being able to maintain the focus that I need on my studies!
My experience at the job isn't a ton. At the job I was the builder this summer. If a customer bough a grill, lawn mower, or anything big really, I would build it or they would build it themselves. Most of my time tho was spent building grills. Everyone at my home Ace Hardware showed amazingly high qualities of both customer service and expertise. If I had to change anything there I would change the freight days a little bit. Freight comes all in one day and that is so much in one day, we can't even finish putting all of it away in one day. I believe if there is a ton of freight, there should be two days of freight.
I love working at my local Ace Hardware. I am currently 17 and started here when I was 15. This is my first job and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I feel as though I am learning something new everyday and am actually excited to go into work most days. I have quickly moved up and have become one of the top employees and am regularly consulted on business decisions. I have heard bad things about other Ace Hardwares that are owned by corporate, but the one that I work at is locally owned and the owners are so nice and caring and genuinely love the store and our community. The Ace Hardware in Clarkston is definitely the place to be.
