      Pros

      Great place for networking and getting home improvement ideas. It is open to the public not just the trade word. They have a nice selection of products and its a one stop shop for all of your interior home remodel needs.

      Cons

      Incompetence, poor structure, low pay, no advancement oppurtunity. recycled management forom the home depot that doesnt understand the design process. Outdated computer systems, poor communication from corporate headquarters. Company had no advertising support from parent company The Home Depot, which lead to the collapse of this subsidiary. Management was based off of micro managing strategies, moral fell dramatically soon after the store opened.

      Pros

      Lots of knowledge to be gained here. If you like helping people learn about their homes and their neighborhoods. Some people find that moving up in the company is very easy and accomplished quickly. Good place with many benifits including health, dental, vision, 401 k, stock options and great community involvement. Benifits are not paid by employer 100%. The quality of employees has significantly improved over the years. The company is now seeking people with actual working knowledge of home repair and everything that goes with that. There are Master Trade specialists in both Plumbing and Electrical that are wonderful postions with a lot of respect.

      Cons

      Major downside is often times the staffing is very sparce. The biggest complaint of customers is that there is no one to help them out. The company staffs it's stores based on sales and if a store is in a ressesion or dooing poorly their hours are cut drasticly. The other downside to Home Depot is if you want to be full time you technically have to be "full time, Full flex" which means you must be able to work any shift that your specific department needs. Now most managers will make many exceptions to the rules but it really depends on the managment.

      Reconize the under dogs of the stores by listening to other associates, not management.

      Pros

      Helping customers make their dream come true, it is very satisfying as an associate to see that you have helped improve something in someone elses life.

      Cons

      How much recognition doesn't happen, how unfairly associates are treated when they do a lot of the work and others sit around and take credit.
