Pros

The pay is well above average most retail companies for salesman, many great benefits including 401k paid vacation, success sharing, medical dental etc.

Cons

There was a general disconnect between management and the workers at the store I worked at. Management were purely number crunchers, and were all ops managers with no people skills whatsoever. All that mattered was how the sales numbers looked that day or week.

Pros

The best reasons to work for home depot now is for the strong and dedicated few who want the company to grow past its expectations. With the market at a slum home depot is now more focused on there customers and engaging there customers and solving customers problems. Six years ago when i started at this home depot they had a similar focus but over time had lost there way. The stocks are at there lowest now and if the pull through then there stocks should raise sufficiently.

Cons

They focus on the problem in the now and easily forget about preventing the problem for the future. Reacting instead of preventing so in other words they let a problem happen time and time again before they take action to prevent it and sometimes years go by. The assist managers have the know how and the capability to improve the store but they chose to do only what they are told.
