"Working at Ace Hardware, it is truly hard to say they care at all about their employees. Individuals on well fare get paid better. Not once was there a pay raise or cost of living raise. It appears the main man keeps it all to himself. Enjoyed working with all the people but management needs to remember what century they are living in. Good luck!"
