Pros

The people I work with directly are great. I also think my job itself is pretty interesting.

Cons

A RTO policy was just implemented for the SEO department, despite half the team living out of state. Now, the time in position policy has been extended from one year to two years. All corporate employees need to work a day in a Home Depot store per quarter, no matter if it's relevant to their day to day job or not. Lastly, the worry of being laid off is a constant cloud over your head.

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.
