      Pros

      PTO, Health Benefits, employees were nice to work with

      Cons

      Cheapest company that I have ever worked for. They treat their employees very unfair the pay is terrible. You are expected to unload trucks and put it all away in a timely manor while trying to help customer and run register. Very high turn over! Customer clientele is as cheap as the products they sell. I would stay away from HFT!!

      Pros

      Privately owned, so not much red tape... however this seems to becoming an issue with micro-management by corporate and managers not allowed to merchandise to their store's needs.

      Cons

      Growing too fast and corporate not putting any assets in improvements in current stores. Corporate Store operations over-worked with minimal staffing increase or improvements. MIS issues all the time with registers freezing up. Lot of pressure put on associates to sell replacement plans that are over-priced.
