      Not the best

      Pros

      Customers love what harbor freight has to offer once they are exposed to it. Good bonuses for store managers

      Cons

      Horrible hr practices. Lack of genuine leadership at Dm and regional level. Message and values do not translate from executive level to the field. Standards not in line with labor model..... How can u launch an initiative and have 90% of the stores fail assessment ...... Proof of the disconnect. Employee development is talked about but not supported. Poor technology roll outs....... Always 10 steps behind

      Pros

      Flexible hours, great co-workers, typical retail environment, no complaints.

      Cons

      Only thing I didn't like was the old school cash registers. They were confusing and slow.
