Thank you for your input, although we are surprised you were not able to find a single pro comment to offer about your experience with the company. As many other current and former employees have pointed out, Harbor Freight retail employees usually enjoy the camaraderie of their co-workers as well as the benefits, even for part-timers. We also offer perks, bonuses and discounts, not to mention opportunities for growth. We hope that you find a place of employment that is a better fit for you and wish you well.

Pros

Very Flexible, Room for growth, Selling warranties on products gets you extra money. Sales driven but not to point of feeling threatened. Work with some cool people. If you are a outspoken people person you will excel at this postion

Cons

NO CAMERAS for safety Turn Over is crazy high Stone Age computers Almost everybody is a stoner Mgrs barely help you out THEFT, THEFT AND MORE THEFT both internally and externally YOU DEAL WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL CUSTOMERS who lie, cheat, steal to get a free item or new item.
