Pros

My manager believed in me - he trusted me to work on some great projects that both helped to elevate the company and myself professionally. My team was great but found out after leaving there was a bit of backstabbing going on. I made some good friends here during my time and enjoyed my employment. I would not be where I am today without the experience garnered while at HFT.

Cons

Sr Leadership is a different kind here. It’s very cut throat and if you don’t move quickly and in an agile manner this isn’t the place for you.

Pros

Great benefits, fast paced environment, good teamwork. I liked the hours, you get an education about tools, whether from your coworkers or the customers. And speaking of the customers, they were on the better side for retail. Most are down to earth and easy to converse with.

Cons

Supply chain issues, many parts would never be replenished, despite being featured, advertised, and on display. That would often lead to tensions with customers. Aggressive time constraints on tasks. Sidewalk sales, holidays, and also coincidentally inclement weather days, can be quite busy and therefore stressful. Especially if there's call outs, but if you have a good management team, you'll have good staff that will want to work for them.
