Pros

Not only is every day different than the one before it, but if your position does become boring or redundant there is plenty of oppurtunity to advance, try other departments, etc. The Home Depot has shown that if you want to advance and take on the higher positions and challenges they will get you there.

Cons

It is a stressfull job. However if you are looking for a challenging career this is it. There are times you feel that you do not have enough time in the day, or week, but if you use your people properly they will help you complete tasks.

Pros

I like the fact that they switch managemet at least every to years. The new managers have new ideas and they try to put them in place. The District Manager Bob is the best district manager we have had since we opened in August 2004. He is very understanding and listens to the associates and their concerns if they have any. He will also jump in and help on the floor if he is needed. It looks like we are going to make our sales for the quarter, which means we will sucsess share and receive a nice check in sept.

Cons

the management team are not team players. If the management team can not work together, how in the hell do we expect the associates to work together. # 6176 has been like this since August 2004. Laying off all HR was a mistake. Now we have no one to turn to but a telephone if you have any issues with a manager or an associate. Management play favorites to a few selected associates and let's them have what ever they want, when the want it. Reviews are never done on time since we have lost our human Res. manager, Connie.

Pros

My best reason is that it was a career move and I also meet my husband threw Home Depot. I am very proud to a part of the history of Home Depot being a 17 1/2 year veteran. I am also thankful of the opportunities I was given along the way, and always believed in this company. We had are ups and downs but I thinking were getting back on track.

Cons

I don't really have any downsides of working at The Home Depot.
