Pros

They are great at working with a variety of scheduals. You can get a day off most of the time if you ask in advance. You learn great deal about the industry and the training is pretty good.

Cons

You will most likely work weekends and nights. The managment can sometime be too much. It seemed like there were 3 people in managment who gave orders to one person. the orders did not always match.

Pros

For the MET team its a pretty laid back job Im 20 years old so for myself it seems like theres a lot of room for advancement within the Depot itself. I make a good pay check every week and I get weekends off, How could I complain. Im going to my second interview for an in store Kitchen Designer position. I went to high school for architecture and college for business so I believe I have the experience and drive that the Depot needs and should be looking for. So I know first hand that the opertunity is there within the company. But I do believe that Just like upper management has to communicate with you. You have to communicate with them as well. Ive worked on the MET Team for6 months and I'm already being thought of for a position that has a very low turnaround rate. Luckily for myself I go to 5 different stores a week and I get to meet and talk to the store managers and other designers on a regular basis. But if you want anything Ive learned you have to be willing to push for it. Luckily I learned that already Im 20 years old.

Cons

I dont work at a store, but i can imagine some of the things I already know I wont like about being a store associate. But Cons on the MET Team I would have to say is in the big picture not really something you might see everywhere on every MET team. My division The supervisors of each dept. and their leads seem to be working against each other. Which doesn't help mold good associates such as anyone in my position.
