      Pros

      The benefits are decent for full time employees. Harbor Freight Tools matches up to 10% for 401(k) contributions.

      Cons

      As the company has grown it has lost a sense of loyalty to it's employees between corporate personnel and store level employees. Hiring from outside the company seems to be a common practice as of late, rather than promoting from within.

      Pros

      Great team member environment. I typically don't love team member situations, but this works out great. I have had the best management team I could ever ask for and they are tremendously understanding about everything from calling in sick, to accidentally screwing up a transaction on the register.

      Cons

      The only cons are the pay and the scheduling. You're not given a schedule but a week in advance. Typically if anything comes up and you catch it quick, they'll fix it. Hours run really low unless the store is super busy for weeks. Typically 20 hours, so a perfect part-time gig for a student. The pay is not super alone being $7.79 to start, but with extended warranty sales you can make some extra money pretty quick

      There are no pros concerning this company.

      Cons

      Horrible company to work for. They could care less about the employees. Treat them horribly.
