      Pros

      It's a a great work environment. You have the opportunity to grow in the company but it's more likely that you'd have to transfeed to a new store to get promoted.

      Cons

      Poorly payed. Only part time, 10 to 20 hours weekly. Managers are the only full time employees. Too many customers and not enough employees to be efficient. Too many customers are rude, snobby, and treat the employees like dirt.

      Pros

      Unbelievably exciting and enriching place to work. CEO / Founder Eric Smidt and senior management are all about collaboration and doing the right thing. The commitment to excellence and continuous improvement can be seen everywhere. Opening a new store every 4 days creates great opportunities for store and warehouse associates to earn more and move up. Factory direct model allows Harbor Freight to constantly drive product quality improvements and offer unbeatable prices. Customers love the value and selection which makes working here fun and rewarding.

      Cons

      Harbor Freight is not the place for you if you don't want a fast-paced workplace focused on continuous improvement.
