The Home Depot reviews

not enough emphasis on product knowledge unless you worked in a specific department; although promotion and training opportunities are advertised in training, those opportunities aren't really available

Do not listen to advice from those within the HD store, do not by any means listen to the rumors and comments made in the break rooms. These rumors ruin the general attitude of those who try to put in an honest days labor. Advanced training is something that most people shy away from only because there is not one that knows their product inside and out -or- those that do tend to hold on to the information until things blow up, then they throw it out there as if, they are always there to help. Information is given by the method "Fly by the seat of your pants" -or- "it is better to ask for forgiveness, then to try and do it the right way" Sometimes the number of processes out weight the actual task. There is too much emphasis on paperwork and not enough on simplification. The person with the knowledge may not have the where with all to place and order -or- even typing.
