We're glad to hear you enjoyed the salary. We agree, Harbor Freight Tools offers competitive pay. We also hope you took advantage of the great benefits such as the paid vacation, health benefits, bonuses, etc. It isn't clear whether you're still with the company: you've listed yourself as a current employee, but your review is in the past tense. If you are still with the company, we'd like to hear more of your input on the HFT Outlet Hotline at 1-800-693-8377. If you have moved on, we wish you well with your endeavors. Thank 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.
