Pros

Home Depot was a great place to work. The overall atmosphere was professional, but there was still an element that was down to earth. Management was friendly and "on the floor" much of the time, and very helpful if an associate needed assistance. Communication seemed above average, however, it is one of those areas that can always use improvement and fine tuning. The overall compensation and benefit package seemed above average, having insurance for both full time and part time employees. Career opportunities seemed to be there, however, finding an open position may be tough when many associates would choose to stay rather than leave. Very flexible for students, always working with the class schedule in order to fit them in.

Cons

Many people have the image of Home Depot while it was under previous management. They are really making an effort to put the associates needs first, and change the corporate culture of the company for the positive.

Pros

OK for part-time or short-term employment.

Cons

Don’t expect a long career here. Managers and HR aren’t supportive; all they care about are their own jobs. They say one thing but do another; although you are expected to strictly follow rules, they don’t. They have no compunction about firing anyone, even those who uncomplaining do everything that is asked of them. No thank you when you are fired. You may think some managers are supportive but when you are being fired, they look out for themselves--no one else. No employee discount.
