Pros

For me harbor freight started as a temp job for me. I never expected it would be my career. The people I have had the chance to meet and the people first culture is what made me stay. Harbor freight is people first to the core and cares about their employees. They listen when there is a problem and won't stop until it is fixed. The focus on development and promoting from within as well as the fast growing nature of the company helps people reach their full potential. Harbor freight is hands down the best place to work.

Cons

There are no down sides.
