Pros

Flexible schedule, lots of fun people, good discount, decent benefits. Good management fun place to work. I don't have anything else.

Cons

The logistics team has a horrible schedule. Can't live off wages. The company doesn't promote from within like they say they do.

We couldn't agree with you more, we do have the best associates and we have a lot of fun at work! We appreciate your time with Harbor Freight Tools and your commitment to help make us a Great Place to Work and shop. We are committed to constantly improving so thank you for sharing feedback as this will only help us get better.

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.
