Pros

HFT pays pretty good for a retail job. The products they sale are interesting and fun. If you like tools, you can get pretty good deals. They give you pretty generous amounts of Paid Time Off and they have decent benefits.

Cons

They send out way too many coupons that makes the customers very confused. They are disorganized in many areas of the management. They are always understaffed and that causes everyone stress. They hire managers with no tool knowledge. The pressure they put on you to sell extended warranties and memberships is over the top.
