Pros

Great place to learn about how to accomplish home improvement projects yourself.

Cons

Store management staff lacks leadership ability. Bases many personnel decisions on popularity rather than performance. Lack of proper business ethics displayed by a number of store mangers and human resource managers (when they where in store). Store management rarely shows an interest in helping you build a career, unless you are a "favorite", and that includes engaging in improper conduct between management and associates.

Pros

I have worked at several other retail companies and Home Depot has been the first one that has made me feel value added. They really take the time to do things right the first time instead of the normal rush that I find at other companies. They give lots of recognition. You can go into any Home Depot and find just about every associate has some sort of badge on their apron. They also have excellent training that will give you the confidence to do your best.

Cons

You have to keep in mind it is a wherehouse so they all are extremely dusty.

Pros

Home depot gives anyone that wants to work hard a chance to advance. I know district and regional managers who started off as cart boys. I started off as regular associate with minimal retail experience and now i am be considered for assistant manager positions. The home depot offers great advancement opportunities. Home depot also pays well for the positions. Most of the other workers at home depot are nice to work with and skilled at there job.

Cons

The only down side is the schedule if you can not put up with a changing schedule and working weekends this job is not for you.
