They are great for uncomplicated tools, or things you will not use extremely often.

Based on the fact that you are on oppo, you are probably overqualified to work there.
I have some HF tools, and I like the quality of their tool chests, but I've found that the people that work there are not very knowledgable about the products. Hopefully it's different where you live, but down here they are basically just stocking shelves.

I worked at one about 10 years ago while 'in-between' colleges let's say. I was only there a short time, but it was a good experience and the employee discount was nice!
At that time at least, corporate did care about their employee's. I don't remember the details, but the healthcare (which I did not enroll in) seemed to be better than most retail companies would offer. They favored hiring full-timers over lots of part-timers. My wage was good for retail in the area at that time. Again I don't remember details, and this was 10 years ago, but I remember being surprised by how much vacation time I had accrued in the short time I was there, and how much money that translated into when I got my last check. Safety was taken very seriously. I was never asked to over exert myself or perform any lifting tasks that could be considered dangerous. A good thing at a place that sells lots of heavy stuff.
So not sure if that's really any help. Who knows what our economic situation over the last several years has done to their policies...

I worry about the off-gasses just shopping at HF. They have great deals on decent stuff, but there's no way it's healthy to spend 8-9 hours straight breathing the combination of plastic fumes and pesticide fumes that get sealed up inside those stores.
