Overall a depressing place to work. I'm in the IT department and the office design, cubes and lighting is very old and dark. Not a place that is going to breed creative ideas or innovation.
They are constantly changing Senior management. In my time here, there have seen 3 different VP's of IT. Not a stable place for your career. The mid level managers are very incompetent and do not have a clear direction of where the team is going.
Also the culture is based on fear. There is a layoff on average of every 3- 4 months. This is not a way to ensure your employees are motivated and productive.
This company is very cheap with benefits. The healthcare plan is a joke, minimum 401k match, and the ESPP is not even worth your time.
If you are thinking of joining the HD Supply IT team, think long and hard about it. They will have no issues laying you off if they need to. I would advise staying away from this company unless you are desperate.
