      Home Depot - what was and could be again sure doesn't look like it now

      Pros

      Home Depot is a big company. As a result, there are plenty of things to learn and people to learn from. There are a good number of employees who have been around 15 plus years and saw the "glory" years of what home depot was and possibly could be again. Those people are great to learn retailing from and talk to about how a company on its way up operates. Recently, Home Depot has been trying harder to hire well.

      Cons

      Bob Nardelli all but ruined the company. Frank Blake (the new CEO of about a year and a half) is doing his best to undo all the morale killing that was done under the Nardelli regime. The company is hopelessly behind in IT systems which make it that much harder to keep up with Lowes and other competitors. The frustration dealing with these systems is enough to drive you insane. As a result, everyone is expected to work their ass off just to overcome how behind everything is.

      Pay is good but work is awful.

      Pros

      It pays more than most retail positions

      Cons

      The hours are awful, training is nil. The managers are never available to help with customer issues or otherwise. All customer issues are expected to be handled by associates, who likely never received proper training or even company policy info. So basically, when faced with customer issues, I had to make things up to try and satisfy the customer, since I was never given any direction or assistance when requested. Never given a weekend off. Requested one weeknight off over a month in advance and not given it. Management is incompetent and organization is markedly absent.
