Pros

I enjoy being a part of the HFT team for many reasons. The company has grown so much and in its evolution, I feel our leadership team really works with all levels of the organization before making any drastic changes. I feel my opinions are valued. I can honestly say that the owner of the company as well as our senior most leaders truly care about its employees, are appreciative of all our work and genuinely exercise our core principles.

Cons

Meetings can often times go off track, run late, start late or get cancelled. Lots of work with a lean staff. However, it is refreshing to see how teams pull together and accomplish great things.

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.
