Pros

This is a GREAT place to work if you are an engineer, product development, sales, or marketing. They throw most of the resources they have at that.

Cons

If you work in supply chain, however, you are seen as at the beckon call of sales and marketing. There is no collaboration. Only being told by sales what is going to happen, and then the supply chain has to make it happen. Supply Chain should be advisers to the sales team, and provide solutions. Not the other way around. Home Depot runs the supply chain decisions being made, to the point that the other channels and customers get left behind and neglected. Service levels of 98% are only met because of service to Home Depot (who sit at near 100% fill rate most months). This is not sustainable, and the company would do well to re-evaluate how it runs and treats the supply chain team.

Pros

Good money if you're willing to sacrifice everything else in your life

Cons

Very chauvinistic culture. Expect to be judged if you put in less than 60 hours. Deadlines are ridiculous, and people have gotten reprimanded when they receive necessary details AFTER the actual deadline. They've got employees thinking being "obsessed" with work is a good thing.

Pros

Benefits, Pay, discount on tools

Cons

Culture based on shaming and blaming. IT organization very immature, no processes in place. IT resources overloaded with much overtime. If management doesn't like you for any reason (you like red and they like green), they will make your life miserable until you leave.
