Pros

If you want a short term career with little reward then Home Depot is the place for you. Seasonal help, part time help, college job ..all fit well with the great effort for little reward you'll get from this company. Home Depot has a great "Good Ole Boy" network and will gladly accept you in to the fold if you are white, male, and a former contractor, builder, or somehow can make them money standing on the backs of others. In my opinion, Home Depot does not treat women fairly and looks through them when estimating what they can add to the corporate workplace.

Cons

No respect for women and what they can bring to the table technically and organizationally. Managers patronize women and think they are all weaklings that can not learn or be eductaed in how to use construction materials and tools. No training otherwise for anyone regardless if you are a woman or a man. You literally have to go away from the company to learn how thei company owrks. Look higher in their organization and you will see very few female Sales Managers and maybe one token female Operations manager. It boggles my mind how they are able to get away with that.

Pros

They make you feel very appreciated. The associates and the management are all very nice and the opportunities for advancement are available.

Cons

The same as any retail job, sometimes you have to work nights and weekends. Alot of the web based training is repetitive and a waste of time. Other than that I am very happy with my job.
