Howards Storage World

Howard's sells thousands of products and we are expected to know the details about all of them, even if your particular store doesn't stock them. The majority of the customers are self-entitled. I worked with a great team and that can make a world of difference. There is often unsafe stock placement in the store rooms and a number of injuries occurred while I worked there. It took the company over a year to replace a faulty ladder.

My time with Howards was enjoyable and I learned about some great products. Being a small store was an advantage as it created a family of the staff that worked together to achieve the best we could. The store was closed when company was taken over. The new owner did not want to have to deal with the distance issues that a regional store can pose, at their loss I believe. I loved the challenge of solving storage and design, and seeing customers come back because of the help they received.

Customer Service, Displaying Shelves / Presentation of Stock, Pricing, Stocktake, Participated and contributed in Team Meetings, ALFA Solution Advisor (required in store and on site quotations and measuring. I really enjoyed the customer service aspect of retail especially assisting clients from all walks of life with their specific needs.

I was happy for the experience so I could move on but management hires untrained managers with no experience and knowledge of how to train staff.  
They offer little support or work advancement. 
They over hire too many staff so staff struggle to get shifts.
Would not recommend working at Howard's.

Pretty standard as far as my experience with retail goes in terms of expectations with work. Coworkers are friendly and easy to work with and everything is pretty straightforward. I feel like I was adequately trained for the parts of the job that are unique to Howard’s (such as selling certain lines and products unique to the store.)

Overall very happy with my employment.

I really enjoyed helping customers find a solution for their storage problems.  

I had a supervisor role and often was in charge of opening and closing of the store as well as setting tasks for other staff members. Also running end of day reports, doing banking etc.

I loved building a good rapport with customers.

Howards is an awesome place to be whether you are working there or shopping. The staff members always put the customers first and they work well together and help each other.
I loved how it became home away from home and you felt like a family.
Organized and easy to work. 
There are I few things I would change but not a major problem.

The work load was to much. Management was not supportive and expected staff to carry their workload as well as the many tasks already allocated to them. The work load always feel on a few people it was not delegated fairly.

Staff were sooo friendly. Great team to work with and wanted to work as a team.  You work hard but feel good about it at the end of the day. Everyone is expected to carry the same work load. And it’s awesome that everyone is accountable for their own day.

Often the manager would change her mind about how we did things and this could be in the same day. I believe there is a new manager there now, that bought the franchise. Things have improved as I hear it.
