Pros

Honestly I don't think that I have any pros. I would not suggest to anyone to apply or work for Harbor Freight.

Cons

If I could give this job 0 stars, I would. I've been working for this company for over a year and I'd have to say management is probably the main reason why I'm leaving, next would be pay. I currently make 8.75 an hr, and that was after raises. We do get commission, however some days you will get nothing. Management is rude and makes me not want to come in at all

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.
