1.6Haverty’s continues to lose their best clients and employees. Here are reasons why. 1: Furniture markup--- Haverty's furniture is so tremendously marked up far more than any other furniture store. City Furniture will be opening their doors and Havertys better stop drinking their Kool-Aid if they want to stay in business. 2: Quality of products: Haverty's products are not the best by comparison. I have seen so many returns because of the units falling apart or being delivered damaged and most of the furniture has previously been repaired at their warehouse before going out to customers. Ask any Havertys customer if their investment is worth buying previously returned and repaired furniture? 3: Delivery cost: Haverty's has raised their delivery charges from $49. to $79.99 and up. If anyone pays this, then shame on you. How do I know these things? I am a former employee. So, before you buy anything at Havertys and regret ever walking in their store; find out what it costs Haverty's to buy that made in China recliner and check other furniture stores where you can buy quality for a lot less. Havertys once built their reputation on quality products but now focus mainly on profits to appease their investors. 4: Their delivery motto on their website ‘The safe delivery of your new furniture takes skillful preparation and the utmost dedication, each item will be inspected prior to delivery to ensure your pieces are ready for your enjoyment.’ The truth is they have been losing their best warehouse , delivery and sales staff and have a very high turnover due to poor quality control standards of their products. Drivers must work around returns daily making deliveries take longer. 5: They do not value their experienced employees and have a very high turnover in sales staff due to delivery failures, cancellations. Sales people work only on commission pay dependent on successful deliveries.
1.8Commission pay changes yearly making it harder to earn the same amount or improve income. There are too many salespeople on the floor and the ability to earn a decent paycheck is highly impacted. Combine that with unsuccessful deliveries and customer cancellations income can go from $33k to $24k. It is harder to hit unattainable required sales quotas and bonuses every month. Assistant managers also sell causing a conflict of interest on occasion. Delivery damage issues causing unhappy customers to cancel their orders. Dishonest salespeople on the sales floor causing conflicts and disharmony. Havertys refuses to change their procedures or sales strategies to be more competitive to stay in tune with current market trends.
1.7Havertys customers are idiots asking an employee if they work on commission. YES, Havertys employees work on commission only. No other pay so when you come in to look at furniture you will never buy, just killing time cause you're bored you take a salesperson's chance away to make a living. Go to Target or Walmart and walk around if you're bored. They get an hourly paycheck and couldn't give a cr*p if you spend hours daydreaming. Havertys salespeople have a high turnover due to idiots who come in wasting time looking at furniture for a house they dream of buying in 5-10 years. These idiots really need to get a life. Furniture you see today will NOT be there in 5 years.
