Pros

Customer Service is expected at a low bar, but if you love to help people it's a great place to wow customers! One of last companies that offers profit from non-merch sales! Run into a lot of creative professionals!

Cons

It's growing and still creating it's management identity. Lack of positive culture, a lot of former Home-Depot management (Those that were shed in HD's change.)

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.
