Pros

Fun, Friendly Atmosphere. It keeps me active and busy and I am not sitting behind a desk all day long. I enjoy the volunteer programs that Home Depot is involved with. There are all kinds of groups and committees that you can join. Outstanding feedback on issues that employees are having, mostly through "town hall" meetings, where associates can say what is good and bad about their store. It is a job where I can use my degree as an Interior Designer, and gain experience for the future, and I get paid better than I would starting out at any other job straight out of college.

Cons

Sometimes I feel that the store is unorganized. There will be merchandise on pallets in odd places, and unlike other retail stores there are no "self-check" services and there is no way to find an items location easily. I feel like some of the services that we offer are not described enough to the associates. It is definantly a place where if you want to learn the information, beyond the classes they teach you, then you are on your own.

Pros

I enjoyed giving good advice on Home Improvement projects that was accurate. I had good product knowledge, the people they hired in the last few years have no product knowledge.

Cons

Bad management and greedy CEO at the time, they didn't care for the employees at all. Not fair in the schedules, and unfair time off (every weekend and vacation time for A few department heads)

Pros

If you need to earn money they will hire you. I got a job there on the freight crew with no previous experience. Be sure you can pass a piss test.

Cons

working hard all night throwing freight for 10 bucks a hour. They needed people to work 8pm-12am. But that would often turn into working 8pm to 4 am. IF you need money and have no place left to go, apply for the night freight crew, you'll make 10 bucks an hour, but its hard work. Also, before you can work you have to drive 40 miles to their training program, two days.
