Home Depot - Where your work is never good enough.

Pros

The health benefits and time off benefits are by far the best in the industry compared to other retailers.

Cons

Home Depot's new Customer FIRST crusade to become #1 in customer service has become a focal point of the new regime at the helm of Home Depot. You are only recognized for you customer service skills but any other talents you posses are insignificant in the eyes of management. Wages are laughable considering everything management asks of you when all they want is for you to do more and some managers just have a mindset that no matter how much you do it is never good enough. All Home Depot cares about is keeping customers happy so they will become "customers for life" meanwhile employees are expandable labor.

Pros

*Good benefits *Understanding of needing to take personal time. *Sick time is flexible *Cafeteria/Gym on-site at Corporate headquarters

Cons

*Promotions are based on who you know, not what you know @ corporate. *People with no technical/academic expertise in jobs through-out corporate. *Management heavy structure (i.e. A "manager" has one person reporting to them) @ corporate. *Heavy management structure results in excessive, high salaries = Lay-offs about every 3 months @ corporate. *Management over-turn is very high @ corporate. *Culture breeds an uneasy atmosphere @ corporate.
