Pros

Decent pay for retail, but as I found out starting pay all depends on who hires you. Of course you are not supposed to discuss pay, but everyone does. Good benefits like medical, dental, vision, 401k.

Cons

Full time employees have to sign statement that they are totally flexible in availability to work while part timers get good set schedules. Alot of times this leaves full timers with evening and weekend shifts only. Employees are expected to take a lot of crap from customers and management. EVERYONE knows everyones business. As much as they say stuff is confidential, it is NOT!

Pros

Home Depot is a place that has great people working at it, and is a place where management isn't breathing down your neck all the time.

Cons

Home Depot has a dark and depressing inner atmosphere. Sometimes you don't get a break when you are supposed to.
