They do not care about their employees - Assistant Manager Harbor Freight Tools Employee Review

Pros

Vacation and sick time are somewhat generous. Usually lots of flexibility available in scheduling. Good advertising brings in customers.

Cons

Oh where to start. Recently all employees except managers must be below 30 hours meaning no benefits for them. Very difficult to keep quality people under these circumstances. This leads to a "revolving door" of part time employees. Product shipment is terribly mismanaged (way too much product in the store). Unrealistic expectations by upper management with very low payroll (under 4% as compared to sales dollars which is unheard of)
