Pros

flexible hours. Great for students because they are open seven days a week. Be prepared to work on holidays as well. You must be customer focused and a very flexible personality to work for Home Depot

Cons

Must cover mulitple departments. Sometimes feel as if Managers are just hearding cats. Most consumers are short on time and on a mission when they come into Home Depot. Really take the time to get to know the store where you work. It can make your days go by very quickly and you ust might surprise yourself. The better you get to know something, the better you get at it.

Pros

The people you work with are great, they are helpful and fun to work with. it is a great place for students and also the retried, or if you just need a second job with benefits. There are a lot of chances to be promoted and you can move to any department you want in the store. If you are a student and will have a degree soon there are also management positions. You are rewarded for everything that you do well there and you will receive a badge if you receive three then you get 50 dollars. great place to work

Cons

the hours can sometimes be changed mid-week you have to pay close attention to when you work. Like any other job the people are sometimes chatty, it is better if you still in the middle and just don't take sides, because come on its just work not life. guests will sometimes be upset because of the lack of aisle numbers in the store, it makes it harder for them to find what they are looking for, and they can take that out on you. some stores work on a point system, so being late , missing punches, and clocking in early are bad, you only get 10 points before your gone.
