      Authentic Home Improvement in the middle of one of the best corporate turnaround efforts since McDonalds

      Pros

      Here a few reasons I like working at the Home Depot - The Brand - There is not a more recognizable name in Home Improvement. The Home Depot is authentic and real. If you want to redo your kitchen, install a garage door, and tile your bathroom all in one weekend - then you go to The Home Depot. If you want to pick out a pretty little lamp for your kids room - then go to Lowes. - The Real Estate - Home Depot did a tremendous job with their real estate position in the last 15 years. No other big box will be able to obtain remotely similar real estate in the top 10 Metro areas of the US. - International Growth - 10% of all revenue is now generated outside the US. The Home Depot now has a presence in Mexico, Canada, and China. - Cash is King - In one of the most horrible quarters (3Q08) in company history, The Home Depot still generated over $850M in cash. Compare this to other retail, autos or airlines. - The People - The associates at the store level are dedicated the customer experience. Without the individual behind The Home Depot apron - this company is nothing

      Cons

      I work in the corporate office (SSC) - I could easily mention the office politics that take place...but I would then have to mention the politics that take place in my church or my kids soccer league.

      Pros

      job is secure, and it is a financially secure co.

      Cons

      having untrained manageres. working hours are not thought out-example-close at 10pm and open the next morning at 6am. home depot no longers respects professionals in their field-example-you do not need to know anything about paint, just learn to mix colors.

      overall, a decent place to work

      Pros

      Home Depot was a great place to work. The overall atmosphere was professional, but there was still an element that was down to earth. Management was friendly and "on the floor" much of the time, and very helpful if an associate needed assistance. Communication seemed above average, however, it is one of those areas that can always use improvement and fine tuning. The overall compensation and benefit package seemed above average, having insurance for both full time and part time employees. Career opportunities seemed to be there, however, finding an open position may be tough when many associates would choose to stay rather than leave. Very flexible for students, always working with the class schedule in order to fit them in.

      Cons

      Many people have the image of Home Depot while it was under previous management. They are really making an effort to put the associates needs first, and change the corporate culture of the company for the positive.
