The Home Depot reviews

The main problem at Home Depot is the top level people are not good retail managers. Poor choices have been made which has cost the company alot of money,employees and loyal customers. Thier is very little though on how to make morale better in the stores. They usr poor judgement by not giving more perks to the aprons on the floor. Any extra compenstion is gained in a lottery format and hard work goes unrewarded.

Some of the negatives i experienced when i worked for this company are that they did NOT hire the most competent and qualified people that they could, they put people in positions they are not "suited" for. Management needs be more pro-active in commending employees for a job well done and be more "hands on" supportive of serving customers and heading off potentially ugly issues, and certainly be more knowledgeable of how to operate store systems. Handing out badges, paper certificates, and occasional prizes here and there because it's a requirement to meet a certain quota of awards is not fair to everyone. But, giving better raises more often, when they are warranted seems like a better way of rewarding and motivating associates. So, in brief, store management was not the greatest. Their work scheduling structure and format is totally horrid/ unhealthy, and makes it nearly impossible to have any kind of normal family or personal life.
