Pros

Home Depot tries to pride itself on promoting those who do their job the best. They succeed most of the time. Wages are above average, but ask for a higher wage from the start; it's hard to get raises in the future.

Cons

Part-time workers can have a hard time having any stability in how many hours they work a week.

Pros

Good Benefits, especially if you and family need them and can't afford the outrageous cost of private health insurance. Management is usually lack as far as time off is concerned. In this economic situation, if you want to take the rest of the week, you are a hero, They need to slash hours and people are really upset and morale is at a point that I have never witnessed. When the store was first opened, we all had bright smiles and looked forward to helping customers but now, it is a hassle to go to the bathroom. On the way we get stopped every 15 feet by everyone, because there are no employees working.

Cons

If you are not from a click, say from another store groupie, you are basically an outsider.
