Pros

Benefits package is slightly above average, Chain had a much better customer friendly reputation when I began, The company had a human resources dept. in each store up until about two months ago. Geographical transfers are allowed within the United States.

Cons

Too many associates do not have a good enough command of the english language to be able to interact with their fellow associates. Bi-weekly paychecks can prove to be a hardship. Upper level management does not listen to lower associates ideas and feedback. The computer automated re-order system (C.A.R.) does not function effectively. Issues an employee may have are difficult to resolve with no HHR representative in the store.

Pros

-Great benefits and opportunity for advancement. If you are willing to play the game you can go far. -They have some great training tools and classes for advancement. -There is a great diversity in the people that you get to work with. -An opportunity to really make a difference in helping customers -Home Deopt really emphasises families and family time. They have childrens workshops on the weekends that really get the kids involved. -They are very much about community involvement. You have the opportunity to go out and help your local community whether it be to build a new park or help paint a new house.

Cons

-Once your are an employee your compensation increase upon promotion is not consistant with the pay rate of non employees just coming on board. -Too much of the "old school" mentality. Although we try to get create consistancy those who have been around for a long time are given a "pass" on following the rules. The days of the renegade managers needs to end. -Hours for associates are synonymous with sales so if you have a low sales day then you need to cut hours. This is terrible management.We can give away all of the discounted things we want but until we change this we will still have overworked associates and unhappy customers!
