Pros

Management is easy to get along with. Experienced and knowledgeable associates. Customers know what they want 75% of the time. Can ask other associates to cover your shift if needed. Occurances can be removed by management.

Cons

Low pay compared to other employers. Managed to negotiate a higher pay but then received fewer hours than promised. Have to remind management they promised they would get back to you if you ask for a day off because schedules are only done a week out. Hours aren't consistent.

Harbor Freight Tools Response

We encourage you to reach out to your Store Manager regarding your schedule and availability. Thank you again for sharing and for your continued hard work!
