With a focus on integrity and teamwork, the company offers a supportive work environment that values employee growth and community involvement. Havertys is dedicated to ensuring a positive shopping experience by emphasizing superior customer service, quality products, and a collaborative team culture.

The role of a Furniture Delivery Driver Assistant at Havertys is essential to the company's commitment to customer satisfaction. These assistants are responsible for assisting delivery drivers in the timely and professional delivery and setup of furniture in customers' homes. This position requires energetic and motivated individuals who enjoy physical, hands-on work and are committed to maintaining high standards of service. The delivery driver assistant must operate in a safe and courteous manner while adhering to the delivery schedule to meet or exceed customers' expectations. Starting at $18.50 per hour, the role offers competitive pay with opportunities for higher earnings based on experience. The shifts begin early at 7:30 am and continue until deliveries are completed, with routes scheduled four to five days a week, excluding Sundays.

The responsibilities include assisting with loading and unloading furniture products at customer locations, stores, or warehouses, operating the delivery vehicle when necessary, and ensuring accurate documentation of deliveries via mobile devices or paperwork. In addition to delivery duties, the assistant may support warehouse or showroom operations if needed. The role requires physical stamina, as it involves lifting and moving heavy items, with a team lift requirement of up to 150 pounds throughout the shift.

Havertys provides a comprehensive benefits package that includes paid training, flexible daily pay options, a 401K program with a company match, and medical, dental, and vision insurance. Paid time off options such as vacation, sick leave, personal days, and company holidays are also offered. Employees have opportunities for advancement within the company and are encouraged to participate in community outreach programs. Additional perks include significant employee discounts on quality merchandise, referral bonuses, educational financial assistance, and access to health and wellness programs.
