Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback, although we are concerned that you were unable to identify a single pro on working for the company. As other retail employees have noted, Harbor Freight Tools offers a good benefits package, incentives and vacation, the atmosphere is casual and the co-workers are usually pretty great. We wish you good luck in your endeavors.

Pros

Great if you need a job right away.

Cons

Provide little pay for strenuous, back breaking labor while pressuring employees to hassle customers. Management is lacking necessary qualifications/skills, that would separate themselves from a follower to a leader.
