Pros

The environment at the store I worked at was good for a part time job. Benefits are an added benefit including PTO and the option to add into 401K.

Cons

Hours can be hard to get as they will not allow enough to get benefits you will be looking at 15 to 25 depending on the week and store.

Pros

The only pros were that I don't work or shop there, I avoid that place like it hasEbola.

Cons

Management is a bunch of childish imbeciles, harassing other coworkers and talking behind one another's back. My hours were cut because I stood up for a fellow coworker that was being harassed. I should have pursued legal action.

We appreciate you sharing your input, but we're disappointed you are unable to share a single positive thought about your co-workers, the company, benefits, job, etc. Harbor Freight continually strives to improve the work environment and experience for its employees, and we would have encouraged you to share your concerns with your HR representative, or anonymously called our HFT Outlet Hotline. As you have moved on, though, we wish you good luck.
