Pros

True pay for performance company. If you are willing to roll up your sleeves and be rewarded for your contributions, this is the company to work for! Flat organization with easy access to senior leaders.

Cons

Short onboarding time frame. Expectation is to jump right in and run!

Pros

HFT is a small company so your relationship with your boss and co workers is excellent. This makes for better communication and a less stressful work area. The location is busy, so there are plenty of customers which helps to keep the employee busy!

Cons

Since it is a small store, sometimes there is an issue with being short staffed and sometimes unwanted conflict.

Few hours, little pay

Pros

Flexible scheduling, easy job, employee discount...That's honestly all the positive things I have to say. It kinda really sucks.

Cons

Disrespectful and rude management, few hours, little pay, have to ask customers for personal information so they are often rude, much time is spent ringing up free items.
