      No issues, just be ready for a fast pace and you need to sprint daily, it's a fun place to be with the growth!

      Pros

      The top leadership is committed to not only making HFT a good retail experience for the consumer but also committed to transforming the culture for the employees. HFT is truly on the path from good to great.

      Cons

      As with any transformation there will be challenges on the journey. Not everyone wants to take the journey.

      Pros

      Huge potential for advancement if you're great at execution and willing to work hard. Customers are extremely loyal and simply expect us to be in-stock, priced right and have helpful associates. Harbor Freight Tools works very hard to live up to its mantra of selling "Quality Tools at Ridiculously Low Prices". The culture is fun and easy yet fast paced. If your a hustler and you care about customers, you'll do well here.

      Cons

      Systems, infrastructure and even Standard Operating Procedures are still in early stages of development and bolstering appropriately to support the explosive growth appears to be a challenge. Associate turnover is somewhat high due to the high mix of part time associates and fluctuation of hours available for them.
