Pros

The best reasons for working at HFT. There is a generous employee discount of 20%. When I worked there, you had a certain degree of flexibility with the scheduling.

Cons

I experienced very long hours that were mandated from management above me. A management schedule submitted was seen as a "minimum" rather than actual. I understand being salary, but the trade off from personal to work life left a lot to be desired. I felt there was a lack of communication from upper management. When I had HR issues, I felt as though they weren't being taken seriously and that things had to get to an outrageous level before anything would happen.

Management has changed. Store is in chaos. I've been there nearly 4 years and I'm very unhappy with some management.
