HD Supply reviews

These are my opinions based on my experience in Colorado, Arizona, Texas and, Southern California. There is way too much big brother, watching, and dictating, the smallest detail of daily customer interaction. There are way too many directives, usually to cut expenses or head count, at the expense of salaried workers family time. The best performers are overloaded and burning out. Inventory control form corporate is not realistic. They need to give middle management enough rope the pull the wagon. Upper management needs to trust the middle managers to do their job. (If they are managers, let them manage.) Upper management makes way too many people placement and termination decisions based on emotion and friendships. (Upper Management = Regional Management)

Company switched to a 2 day in office hybrid schedule during covid then switched to 3 days, and as of February 2025 will be 4 days a week in office. They just announced no bonuses will be paid out, the week before announcing the switch to 4 days in office. There are new organizational changes within the commercial leadership team. The new leader of Pricing and Commercial analytics comes from a private equity background which tells you all you need to know about how much he cares for the employees. Pay is below market capped at 3% annual raises. Overperforming employees are generally not recognized or rewarded for their performance despite an emphasis on recognizing "Big Deal" employees. You'll have two associates at the same level with completely different output. The high performers are rewarded with more work and even worse work life balance.
