Pros

Great customers. Enthusiastic co-workers. You get to know a lot of employees working in different positions at several stores. The training is pretty good considering the volume of material. You get to see a lot of the state.

Cons

Crazy hours. 16 hour days six days a week. No time for family or meals. In customer houses 2-3 hours or more selling cabinets, closets, garages, countertops, back splashes. No compensation for gas or anything else. If you can't talk people into buying the product the same day you show it, don't take this job. Pricing could be anywhere from $6,000 to nearly $27,000.

Pros

The Home Depot has a solid moral compass. They aren't about sacrificing their ethics for the sake of a sale, which I love. They also hire a diverse group of people and give a lot back to the community. They offer a lot of benefits and little treats for their employees. Although they push their associates to meet quota, they're realistic about what can and can't be accomplished.

Cons

Home Depot has two different sides to it. Store associates and those of us considered "store support" who are payed by the vendors but work in the stores 100% of the time. I constantly hear about how store associates are stressed out by management and their hours are being rearranged a lot, cut, and they often are stretched thin due to lack of full staffing. "Store support" associates who do merchandising have it better than those who work in specific departments. However, you never really gain knowledge unless you have the time to look things up and read packaging.
