Pros

Rate of pay is good. Benefits are good. Bonus is hard to achieve but when you can achieve it, it's good.

Cons

Upper management has created an atmosphere where more people are working out of fear of consequences than they are of desire to do a good job.

Pros

HFT has good benefits, from the insurance to the paid time off. There's always room for advancement either within the store you begin working in or by relocation.

Cons

HFT is a fast growing company, but they are not completely ready for the expansion. The corporate office needs to learn from other major retailers on practices they implement in their stores. They expect too much from their part-time, minimum wage employees, which quickly causes burnout that results in high turnover rates. Most all of the decision makers of the company have never worked in a HFT store or in any retail environment which also hinders the success this company could have. It should listen more to the employees it currently has and others who have worked in similar environments to improve how to stores are ran. This would improve employee loyalty, resulting in a better workplace and would ultimately drives the company to success.
