Pros

Harbor Freight is a great place to work. My managers are fair and reasonable about hours and duties on shifts. They keep you up-to-date on continued training as things in our society change. I am very happy I took this job opportunity.

Cons

The uniform is strict, and there is no option for Winter. They need to implement some form of approved coat to the uniform. There are only bonuses for supervisors.
