Pros

A lot of responsibility and never a second of down time so you're never bored. They try to make you feel like you're running your own business within your department which is true for the most part as long as you stay withing company guidelines. If you can stick around, there are good opportunities for promotion and advancement.

Cons

They recently instated standard rates of payment for each position, so unless you're grandfathered in you're going to get screwed. My store manager told me he agreed that I should make more money but said he couldn't do anything. Now I'm looking for other jobs because I can't afford to live on the income I'm making, I would stay there and get a second job but because of the full flex schedule it's impossible.

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.
