HD Supply offers no growth. Unethical business practices. Minimum wage and zero benefits compare to similar stores.
Pros
Learned a lot of new skills. Employees are friendly and easy to get along with. Customers are very friendly and loyal to the company.
Cons
HD supply has two types of employees; full time and part time. Full time employees get a higher salary and benefits while part time employees get pay minimum wage and zero benefits. All new employees start as part time and of course strive to become a full time employee to get paid more, and get health benefits. After working at HD supply for a year now , I can say this company doesn't have any room for personal growth. A year working here and I'm still stuck at being a part time worker with minimum wage and no health benefits. The company doesn't want any part-time employees to become a full- time employee so they don't have to pay more $ and give healthy benefits. Similar to Circuit city practices , they rather hired new unexperienced workers than to promote hard working , loyal , employees that been there for ages working with empty promises of one day moving up within the company. All part time employees must work holidays without being paid time and a half. Although this is legal, this practice is very unethical. Even fast food chains pay their workers time-and-a-half for working holidays!! when you ask for a raise or for a full time position , management simply state that business is slow and sales are down. Yet the next day they hire new workers. Simply unethical , shady business practices. How do they expect us employees to be positive and loyal when they don't reward us for being the catalyst for the company?
