Pros

I was is college as I worked for Harbor Freight, and they were excellent about working around my school schedule. If something at school came up to where I was going to be late or couldnt make it to a shift, they were very understanding and worked with me on the matter. It is a great place for students to have a job with a decent amount of hours. They also are among the highest paying part time retail positions in my area.

Cons

You are expected to work most weekends, but that is a common thing in the retail industry. It's not a big deal, but if you're one who needs all or most weekends off, that would be a problem.
