Pros

The people you work with are great, they are helpful and fun to work with. it is a great place for students and also the retried, or if you just need a second job with benefits. There are a lot of chances to be promoted and you can move to any department you want in the store. If you are a student and will have a degree soon there are also management positions. You are rewarded for everything that you do well there and you will receive a badge if you receive three then you get 50 dollars. great place to work

Cons

the hours can sometimes be changed mid-week you have to pay close attention to when you work. Like any other job the people are sometimes chatty, it is better if you still in the middle and just don't take sides, because come on its just work not life. guests will sometimes be upset because of the lack of aisle numbers in the store, it makes it harder for them to find what they are looking for, and they can take that out on you. some stores work on a point system, so being late , missing punches, and clocking in early are bad, you only get 10 points before your gone.

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.
