Thank you for your review. We are committed to creating a work environment where all our Associates can grow and succeed, and we strive to improve every step of the way. At Harbor Freight, we do our best to stay ahead of the minimum wage and we do not pay at the minimum wage. We also review the wages of surrounding retailers to determine the need for an increase in the current wage. Thank you for your hard work and we wish you all the best!

Pros

The company really cares about it's employee's. The compensation is higher than most any other companies and the benefits package is above par. They haven't increased the rates in 4 years.

Cons

If you are a manager that leads by example, this company is not for you.
