Pros

Easy interview and fast process to be hired.

Cons

Culture is exceedingly toxic. Management constantly talks down and poorly about everyone else at the company, especially his bosses and the B level execs. After being hired, you will soon find out why no one will ever touch an old system or do anything that may possibly link them to any possible issue. To excel here you need to just not do anything that could possibly bring attention positive or negative. It's full of booby traps and time bombs, of which you will be thrown under the bus for tripping them. When you do what your boss tells you and he praises you for, the next day he will tear it down in front of the department. Then repeat. There is no consistency here. Of the criticism there will be nothing actionable. Only vague ideas of what it wanted. Your manager will talk to you for enforcing the policies that your manager stated you should enforce. When you're ready to deploy code to fix issues your management has stated are issues, they will be sarcastic over text. However you have no way to know this and when you deploy you will be in trouble, get your code yanked saying it broke something with no feedback on what or where and dressed down in front of the department. If you find something wrong and report it, nothing will be done because the stakeholders have no incentive too. Management doesn't know how to use configuration management or why. They truly do not grok tech culture or the devops process or how QA even works. Much of their systems have entered a drift state because of not knowing how CM works or why. Bringing them back in will get you thrown under the bus without any feedback or chance to fix anything.

Pros

I worked for HD Supply Facilities Maintenance (headquartered in San Diego), and a year ago, it was a pretty good company. They had some issues, but overall, the team was trying very hard. And they cared about the people

Cons

Since mid year 2015, HQ (in Atlanta) decided to move HD Supply Facilities Maintenance from San Diego to Atlanta. Except, they did it pieces at a time, and ENSURED everyone that they weren't losing their job. At first, I agreed with the move, there's no reason why we'd pay for 2 CEOs and 2 headquarters when HQ kept selling off pieces of other businesses. Over the past 6 month, management has been lying directly to our faces. No formal letter has been drafted stating your actual last date when given the pink slip, everything has been in DRAFT. I finally left a month before my "draft" last day. I trained my replacement, per the agreement to collect the severance. Yet NO SEVERENCE was paid. New people coming on board are also leaving. Unless you're desperate, run away from this company. This is honestly happening to all 300+ employees in San Diego. I'm not exaggerating. Do not work here!

Thank you for your feedback. We take this and all reviews very seriously at HD Supply. While we can’t speak to each specific piece of feedback, we want to share our thoughts on some of the points made. Over the past ten years, we have brought approximately 153 collective companies together under one umbrella and, while doing so, never wavered from our goal of treating our associates with dignity and upholding the highest degree of integrity. Our San Diego decision was not made lightly. During that process, we are proud to have successfully transitioned a significant number of our talent to another HD Supply San Diego location. We also offered relocation to Atlanta to some of our associates, a number of whom chose not to move away from sunny San Diego. While a transition such as this one is certainly emotional for our many tenured associates, we feel proud of the work that was done. We are very excited about the future of HD Supply and our long-term decision to relocate our San Diego operations to Atlanta, Georgia. As a company, our core purpose is to improve our people’s lives and the lives of those in our communities. Breaking ground on a new, top-of-the-line facility in Atlanta for all of our phenomenal women and men so that they can flourish and thrive is a top priority for us, and we see it as a key differentiator from our competition. This facility will house our growing population and world-class leadership development and training facilities so that we can continue to deliver Best of the Best for our customers, shareholders, communities, and most importantly…Our People.
