Pros

The Salary is the only thing good about working at Home Depot.

Cons

zero work life balance. minimum 55 hour work weeks. sometimes 6-days a week. no time for self development. no time for lunch or other breaks. promised more hours to store for customer service but have seen scheduled hours decrease weekly for hourly associates. not enough positive feedback to salary managers only negative.

Pros

It is a good place to start when coming out of high school and going into college. You get some experience dealing with all types of customers. You also make some good friends as you are not the only one working in your department.

Cons

I guess like every other job, there are "groups" within the store that tend to like only a few people and do not like new people working at the store. Also, some employees that have not attained the role of manager or supervisor will act like they are the boss just because they think they are entitled to it...be careful of that.

Pros

I was dissatisfied with the experience - would not recommend the store.

Cons

They do not attempt to work with associates in any way. The schedules are so flexible, there is no work/life balance. They do nothing to bring up morale in the store and the only feedback you get is negative.
