Pros

The benefits which include medical, dental, vision, and stock purchase discounts. The company used to give employee discounts, but this hasn't been the case in the last couple years. Perhaps once the economy picks up, the product discounts will come back for employees..

Cons

Low pay. Management doesn't take advantage of some of the talent the workforce has. The store used to be woefully understaffed, but top management expanded aprons on the floor some, and the tanking economy took care of the rest of the problem.

Pros

Home Depot is a grat place to learn. I am constantly being given the chance to learn dfferent things. The training is top notch. I had nothing but training for a week before I began working there, and two full days after being promoted. Additionally there are monthly training and safety reminders given to all employee.

Cons

Often times people in mid-level supervisory positions have a big head and try to make names for themselves by being bossy rather then by bein effective. Also, Home Depot has a very slow rate of flushing out the deadbeat employees, in part because they do not provide thebest feedback when one of doing poorly.
