typical retail - Store Manager Ace Hardware Employee Review

Excellent work-life balance, simple directives, and easy objectives. My superior managers were excellent to cooperate with and my team members were innovative.

Market management seemed detached from operational function. Certain individuals in management were incapable of communicating succinctly without offense.

The 401K and bonus benefits are nice, the office/campus is beautiful. Horizontal mobility is great, there are opportunities to move to other departments- but that can be tricky because one will also need to qualify for the new role.

The environment is equivalent to a high school, micromanagement from people who do not remotely have a management title (likely for job security), no sight of vertical mobility.
