The Home Depot reviews

Work/life balance doesn't exist for managers. If you are dedicated to providing the best service to your associates, it requires working between 60 - 70 hours per week during season (March - July). Company expectation is that you will work a minimum of 55 hours per week. At the store level, the managers work very hard to meet the company goals. The problem is that the goals change constantly so you never have the feeling that you are getting anywhere. Even worse, you never feel the sense of satisfaction of a job well done. Your arms get very tired trying to swim upstream all the time!

The Blatant favoritism that store managers show towards some employees contributes to the toxic environment that you will experience if you work at The Home Depot. If you work full time as a sales associate you should fully expect to work 6, 7, 8, 9, and even 10 days straight. The scheduling of hours at The Home Depot is so ridiculous that you will feel as if you have won the lottery if you get 2 days off in a row. Also forget about ever planning any type of day trip with your family because you will never know what your schedule will be up until 2 weeks before.
