Pros

Co-workers and some customer's make it OK.

Cons

Lack of training, you do every job in the store. I've watched as people come in thinking they will do one thing and end up working truck and overnights. They quickly left. It's hard to keep employees.

Pros

learn how to solve peoples problems. was fun in the beginning. when u work at hft you ARE hft and it becomes like home nd a tool expert lifestyle

Cons

after you master the store people will be hired getting almost 40 hours to do all the easy stuff while u will only work 3 8-10 hour days doing 100k work for the same pay as when you started.. you will have to train these people to get more hours and then its like i saw 4 store managers get fired quit nd just cum f the whole store up. dont get me wrong i loved my job while i was in college. but this job will get u stuck and paused in life.
