Pros

Affter years of working in retail I found Harbor Freight. Since I joined HFT I have been able to spend every Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family. I don't have to rush to work or miss family celebrations becasue Harbor Freight is closed. My wife and kids are very thankful for HFT, as I am. The growth is non-stop. The Benefits are the best in retail.

Cons

Training is good but still some opportunity.

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.
