      A company that really cares about its employees

      Human resources & legal department

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relaxed working environment, open door policy, strong work ethic by everyone, passion for doing the right thing, unlimited growth potential, issues are addressed and resolved immediately. This is a company where hard work is acknowledged and appreciated.

      Cons

      No cons: Harbor Freight Tools is the last of its kind. A large privately owned nationwide retail organization that truly cares about its employees and gives back to its own. It's a company that believes in teamwork and acknowledges a job well done.

      Not a good career choice

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Health Insurance, Dental, Vision, Paid time off. Pretty much the standard stuff that most companies offer. Different plans to select from.

      Cons

      Think again if you are looking for a solid career. This is NOT the place!!!!!!!! I would suggest looking somewhere else before working here. VERY disorganized. You WILL work off the clock and your manager WILL change your time in the system.
