Pros

HarborFreight has a great work life balance. Overall the job is stupid simple follow the play book and you will succeed. Benefits are fantastic!

Cons

Overall they are still figuring things out retail wise. The bonus for assistant managers is rather lacking. The LOA portion of the company is a train wreck.

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.
