Pros

If you are looking for an opportunity to be a part of a rapid growth operation...this is the place to be. If you want the chance to make an impact in the future of the business...this is the place to be. Opportunties for personal and professional growth are never ending as HFT works to build the infrastructure to support their aggressive growth plan. The leadership team is diverse and extremely talented! Very large organization with a "family business" feel to it.

Cons

There is a lot of work to be done to support the growth plan...so if you are looking to maintain the status quo, Harbor Freight isn't the place for you.

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.
