      Pros

      Acceptable health insurance benefits for part-time workers.

      Cons

      Some store level management not product knowledgeable, do not encourage positive work environment, do not encourage employee input and make questionable hiring/disciplinary/firing decisions.

      Prospective employees: Beware of the orange mythology

      Pros

      When I worked there the focus was on helping customers with do-it-yourself projects. I found that aspect of the job very satisfying.

      Cons

      Service was king unless it got in the way of finances (expense). When service and costs came into conflict, costs almost invariably trumped service and service took a back seat.

      Better than most retailers, but could do a lot to foster employee satisfaction.

      Pros

      Home Depot is a solid place to work. They are thoroughly ensconced in the marketplace and their financial stability is a plus to employees. Low risk of lay-offs as long as you're competent.

      Cons

      While it's not terrible compared to some other retail establishments, the pay rate is not fantastic. If $25K a year is all you ever expect to reach, you can get there in a few years, but the only way to break past that level is to be a Master Plumber, Master Electrician, or go into management.
