Pros

only 40 hours a week compared to a salaried job

Cons

can't think for yourself. They want you to come in at midnight,2-3am. after closing the day before. very high pressure to sell the programs (ext service and inside track club).

Pros

You made commission off every warranty and membership sold i had very nice coworkers those are the only pros

Cons

management put so much pressure to sell warranties, when you could only try so hard. I'm sorry but the tools there are cheap most people didn't see the need for the warranty all the cons at my store had to deal with management. They were rude and had no respect for employees. They would scream at us over our headset when i was clearly busy with customers, i eventually would take it off halfway through the shift. By far the worst job I experienced, however it could be different for other harbor freight locations because my issues all had to do with management.
