There's better places to work - Associate Harbor Freight Tools Employee Review

Pros

Supervisors are fun to work with

Cons

Store and sales managers are horrible leaders. Turn over rate is high. HR takes forever to resolve anything. No commission for associates just management. Management is very condescending and really counterproductive at times. Work life balance is an utter joke with this store, especially when the store can not retain people, and you are asked to cover shifts even during your unavailability you set up during onboarding.
