Pros

If you want a short term career with little reward then Home Depot is the place for you. Seasonal help, part time help, college job ..all fit well with the great effort for little reward you'll get from this company. Home Depot has a great "Good Ole Boy" network and will gladly accept you in to the fold if you are white, male, and a former contractor, builder, or somehow can make them money standing on the backs of others. In my opinion, Home Depot does not treat women fairly and looks through them when estimating what they can add to the corporate workplace.

Cons

No respect for women and what they can bring to the table technically and organizationally. Managers patronize women and think they are all weaklings that can not learn or be eductaed in how to use construction materials and tools. No training otherwise for anyone regardless if you are a woman or a man. You literally have to go away from the company to learn how thei company owrks. Look higher in their organization and you will see very few female Sales Managers and maybe one token female Operations manager. It boggles my mind how they are able to get away with that.

Pros

The Home Depot has a solid moral compass. They aren't about sacrificing their ethics for the sake of a sale, which I love. They also hire a diverse group of people and give a lot back to the community. They offer a lot of benefits and little treats for their employees. Although they push their associates to meet quota, they're realistic about what can and can't be accomplished.

Cons

Home Depot has two different sides to it. Store associates and those of us considered "store support" who are payed by the vendors but work in the stores 100% of the time. I constantly hear about how store associates are stressed out by management and their hours are being rearranged a lot, cut, and they often are stretched thin due to lack of full staffing. "Store support" associates who do merchandising have it better than those who work in specific departments. However, you never really gain knowledge unless you have the time to look things up and read packaging.
