Harbor Freight Tools Employee Reviews for Database Administrator

"After a brutal reorganization, there's better management but plenty of stupid"

What do you like about working at Harbor Freight Tools?

"There's a start-up vibe with more stability than you'd find in a company that is launching. Pretty good access to VP level leadership. Most of the leadership isn't set in their ways and some projects can get done quickly."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Go in with both eyes wide open and don't burn any bridges behind you. The revolving door spins pretty fast here."

What don't you like about working at Harbor Freight Tools?

"There's a horrendous amount of inefficiency and waste. Top performers go unrecognized and unrewarded while while ineffective loose canons get promoted. Lots of wheel-spinning and very unstable at the top."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Recognize people who perform and move them into positions of greater responsibility."
