Pros

Amazing coworkers, cool merch, amazing employee discount of 40%

Cons

My store shut down a while ago (my last year working for HT was 2020), and we were severely overworked, with my DM more worried about staying within payroll then ensuring the comfort of employees. I was often alone in the store for hours, and was forced to do bank runs by myself. If you’re a sales associate, except maybe only 4-8 hours a week at minimum wage. Management is not paid much above minimum, and requests for raises are often rejected.

Pros

Coworkers and culture were definitely the pros of the job.

Cons

Mall setting and corporate policies made things unenjoyable. If this place could be franchised and not in a mall with so many other types of people would be much more ideal.
