Pros

Flexible schedule Work-life balance is good

Cons

In 2018, Home Depot hired 1000 new software engineers. In the race against time to fill the positions, they have recruited people who are really bad at coding. The entire interview process was a joke. Managers don't really care about employees. All they want is to maintain status quo and secure their job.

Don’t get sick, you’ll get into trouble

Pros

I truthfully only stayed because I enjoyed working with one of the head cashiers, she became a motherly figure at work to me and I always came to her with questions and guidance.

Cons

First of all, I came into this job working 30-40 hours a week at the front end as a cashier, out of the nowhere, my schedule went from 40 hours to 4, and then having 2-3 weeks off at a time. I asked for more hours consistently and was never given them while trying to provide for my child. Second, this company does not accept doctors notes, so, if you or your child get sick, you will be given an occurrence for being sick unless you have sick time, but you’re only given 2 hours of sick time per month, which is not nearly close to a full shift. Also, if a head cashier doesn’t like you, you’ll be standing out in the garden all day long when you are only supposed to be out there 2 hours at a time. Avoid working for this company, they win you over with their charm during orientation. And I stayed entirely way too long because it is so hard to find a job in the town I live in. I will never return again.
