Employees were nice for the most part - Front End Cashier Cole Hardware Employee Review

nice coworkers, engaging environment, relatively relaxed.

customers can be pushy and needy

Location is very convenient and accesible

I was forced to quit after a year when I found out that others who were hired after me (and were white) were receiving almost a dollar more per hour. When I reported an employee who had been working there for many years for using a racist derogatory slur to describe our coworker on multiple occasions, no action was taken and he continues to work there. The management of the company is even worse. They only show up briefly in stores and take all the credit for the stores sales. They are quick to throw you under the bus if it protects themselves. Never have I worked for an Ace Hardware with such backwards values. They also offer no increase in pay for being bilingual. When I quit after enduring this behavior for a year, I was walked out by managers and given a trash bag to collect my things in front of all of my coworkers like a criminal.
