Pros

Accumulated sick and vacation time even for part time people. Crew and Assistant Managers are great.

Cons

I sure it depends on store but work/life balance is horrible. If you aren't 100% dedicated to Harbor Freight you will be given flack for it. Upper management is a complete joke. Their expectations for a "McJob" are ridiculous. All they care about is selling their junk warranty and membership plans, you will get tired of hearing it.

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.
