      Not bad, could be better

      Pros

      Descent base pay, pretty good benefits, and Atlanta is a great city in which to live and work. The people are nice, and lower and middle management are competent and supportive. Stores are generally located in larger cities and towns in good neighborhoods.

      Cons

      Corporate red tape runs rampant. Senior management working against the interests of the shareholders. Long hours, and a poor work life balance. Benefits could be better. Home Depot used to be the industry leader until Nardelli got his hands on the treasury. Morale could be better and was better when we weren't getting our lunch handed to us by Lowes.

      Pros

      Good team of leaders, there is alway room to grow within The Home Depot. Manangers have an open door policy, ready to listen and do what they can to help you.

      Cons

      The variance in the scheduling. At times it can be hard to have much of a personal life. Opening and closing back to back.

      Pros

      Home Depot has a great benefits package. If you get into a store that has a good management team they will make sure that you are well taken care of and are given all the opportunities that you could ask for. There is plenty of money to be made. Home Depot prides itself on having well trained employees, so their training schedule is quite vigorous and boring, but it all pays off. I went from being a cashier to a kitchen and bath designer in less than 3 years. In that time I double my salary. All it takes to have success at Home Depot is hard work.

      Cons

      It is retail so the schedule is absolutely horrible. Home Depot really pushes a lot of customer interaction, hence why we are there. If you are seen giving poor customer service or ignoring a customer (not saying hi) that is grounds for termination. You must always have your best foot forward. Department heads in the company are too frequently unknowledgeable about the products in their departments, making it difficult to learn about things when you are new to the company or department. It is long hours standing on concrete floors and it is a dirty retail environment, after all it is a warehouse.
