Pros

Great benefits, especially eye care. Homer awards provide cash bonuses and success sharing adds a nice bonus to associates especially supervisors who get double payout.

Cons

As a department supervisor you are essentially the low man on the totem pole. Everything falls on you and you are stuck being coverage instead of being able to properly run your department. It's much easier in small volume stores but much harder in medium to high volume.

Corrupt Management. I have NEVER gotten fired from a job I looked forward to going to every day.

Pros

I loved my job. My co-workers, for the most part, were great! Smart, fun to work with, etc. That's one thing Home Depot is good at doing, hiring great people.

Cons

They get rid of their great people because of some bias. I thought I had no enemies there, but I was wrong. Management is corrupt. I was investigated for unintentionally mis-reporting my start time on a time correction sheet and was fired the next day. I was blind sided. They had just recently made me full time and given me the Pro Cashier position with a M-F set schedule. And then BAM, I'm gone... WTF They said I intentionally lied about what time I had come in. I had never been written up for anything before or talked to by management to indicate they had any problems with me. It was a BS excuse. There was something else going on there, but I will never know what it was.
