Pros

It's easy work, and (most of the time) easy to get. This may be due to the company's high turnover rate, however.

Cons

The stores and management are disorganized, cashiers have to put up with a lot of abuse from customers. The communication system in the store where I worked was ineffective. They used walkie-talkies, but only the floor staff were allowed to use them, not the cashiers. If there was an item brought up to the cash register that did not have a bar code or SKU number, the cashiers had to rely on the register phones to contact the floor staff to find the price of the item. The floor staff rarely answered their phones.

Pros

Home Depot is almost always hiring and is a well recognized company. Salary ranges are reasonable for the positions.

Cons

Home Depot management was very judgemental on issues that do not pertain to performance. Managment is focused way too much on appearances regardless of the quality of work and employees are expected to keep extra long hours. A work life balance was difficult because of the hours and it is takes forever to get out of the parking deck. Also there was a secret network of communication where managment bashes the employees. It was not a comfortable environment to work in.
