Leonard Buildings & Truck Accessories Everyone that walks in is a thief Kingsport Tennessee

The individual who wrote this report (dudeatwork) does not have his facts in order.  I am the Human Resources Director for the company.  This is a great company to work for, well established, and successful.  We do not teach our employees that "anyone that drives or steps on to the lot is a thief."  How ludicrous of a statement that is. 

Our customers are viewed as a priority and are given immediate attention.  They are the reason we are in business.  It is our goal and desire to help each customer find a solution to their needs and to feel good about doing business with us.  We have repeat customers from decades ago and we train our people to treat our customers like gold. 

We do not accuse "every employee" of stealing.  We only accuse employees who the facts show are stealing.  As in any retail store operation, the employees are entrusted with company assets, products and cash.  We cannot turn our eyes to possible theft.  We have a fiduciary responsibility to the corporation to protect it.  If someone is suspected of stealing, it is investigated, and if corroborated, the individual is terminated and charges are pressed with law enforcement.  That is what any company would do.  Fortunately, this does not happen that often.

We do not work our "employees 6 days a week 12 hour days."  It is a retail based operation, so we have to be their for the customer.  This does require a 6 day work week- not seven like many retailers.  Most of our sales people work 50 -55 hours per week on average.  Many other sales based stores requiring much longer hours.  I hear it all the time when I'm recruiting- applicants say they are used to working 60 or 70 hours per week.  We want our employees to enjoy a work/family life balance and if someone is working too many hours, we cut that back.  We care about our people.

They rest of the "dudeatwork" comments can just be summed up as a disgruntled employee.  We provide an enjoyable and fun work environment.  It is challenging and hard work to be sure.  But that is also what makes it so enjoyable. 

With regard to big markups, we are in business to make a fair profit.  In no way do we have larger markups than reasonable.  We offer a price match guarantee for similar products from our competitors.  And we do have lots of competition and many copy cats.  You cannot stay in business today with the competition the way it is by charging too much for your products.  And we have been in business over 45 years. 

Stop by one of our stores today and you will be very pleased.  If you are looking for any of our products, we will provide you with what you need, at a fair price and with great customer service.
