Harbor Freight Tools Response

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback, although we are concerned that you were unable to identify a single pro on working for the company. As other retail employees have noted, Harbor Freight Tools offers a good benefits package, incentives and vacation, the atmosphere is casual and the co-workers are usually pretty great. We wish you good luck in your endeavors.

Pros

Great benefits, fast paced environment, good teamwork. I liked the hours, you get an education about tools, whether from your coworkers or the customers. And speaking of the customers, they were on the better side for retail. Most are down to earth and easy to converse with.

Cons

Supply chain issues, many parts would never be replenished, despite being featured, advertised, and on display. That would often lead to tensions with customers. Aggressive time constraints on tasks. Sidewalk sales, holidays, and also coincidentally inclement weather days, can be quite busy and therefore stressful. Especially if there's call outs, but if you have a good management team, you'll have good staff that will want to work for them.
