Pros

I've been at Home Depot for 5 1/2 years and because of my fellow associates I enjoy going to work everyday. I applied just because I was out of money going to college and needed a job. I never thought it would turn into a career. You have to learn a lot on your own.

Cons

Management is not proactive. Benefits are just OK. I have a strong background in remodeling and felt as if this job would be a good fit. However, I'm not placed in departments where I can fully use my knowledge.

Pros

Overall, the company is good to work for. As far as retail is concerned, the pay and benefits on the higher end. The company works hard to ensure that you have the tranining you need to suceed.

Cons

The compnay refuses to acknowledge that people have a life outside of the company. Full time employees at my location are not allowed to have one set night a week off of work for outside events. The higher you go the more hours you work and you are not compensated for it. I often will see my managers in working on their days off. The culture of the company sold by the corporate office is dramatically different that what people find in the stores.
