Pros

I guess they have coffee in every break room

Cons

Senior managment pretend to be on your side, but all they want to see is a BIG bonus. Lots of power moves. You work long hours and are shown no appreciation. If you want to work for a terrible company, go right ahead, but dont say I didn't warn you. People are very unfriendly. And everyone thinks Eric is god. Serisusly working at HFT is like being in high school all over again, all the same back stabbing and power plays. Its all about impressing people.

Pros

So many amazing customers and co workers. Pay is good depending on your position.

Cons

Upper management. Store managers vary by store a lot are great some absolutely terrible. The decisions made have been absolutely terrible. Cutting hours pushing everyone even more. Hiring part timers and expecting them to work like full time associates after a month of 12 hour work weeks. Used to be a great place to work now despite the company insisting its the best place to work its garbage. In my district alone I know theres 11 leaders looking to leave.
