Pros

Harbor freight tools is a Rapidly growing company. Many opportunities to advance if interested. Most new stores seem to be in smaller suburban communities.

Cons

Odd promotions that seem to never end. Bimonthly tent sales are promoted as something big, but there is never anything new or special to distinguish them from the everyday sales. This causes confusion and frustration from customers who are looking for something special in the "special" sale.
