Pros

HFT is opening many stores every year and has lots of opportunities to advance your career. I also found the compensation to be good once I had been there awhile.

Cons

HFT has change a lot of over the years. The company seems to have a lot of negativity flowing down from corporate and upper management.

Worst place to work in the history of jobs

Pros

None. Stay away if you can.

Cons

How much you get paid depends on a weekly budget of hours. The less hours given to the stores the less you work. You could work 40 hours one week then 10 hours the next. Had it happen a ton of times but more like 20 hours one week 8 the next. No stability and they do not care about employees at all. Turnover rate of employees is ridiculously high. Hire new employees every month because the current part-timers get smart and quit....as I did as soon as I found a new job.
