Toxic Environment - Anonymous employee Harbor Freight Tools Employee Review

Pros

Benefits and compensation for upper management is good.

Cons

A very political environment which measures ones performance on perception alone. Even numerical indicators of performance can be perceived through upper management as “how one contributed” to that number. Several individuals within the company have too much influence on executive management that these opportunities are over looked!
