High Turnover in Garden / ASM Practices Nepotism and Micromanages Associates

Garden sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good interactions with customers. Make good friends with coworkers. Good way to gain forklift experiance.

Cons

Extremely high turnover rate. No one stays longer than 2 months. ASM that overlooks the department practices favoritism and nepotism. ASM also will talk down at you and treat you like a child. ASM also has poor customer interaction skills. Scheduling is all over the place and is not consistent.

Asset protection associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There aren’t any, I can’t think of a single one.

Cons

Two many to list. But the biggest one of all. If the heat comes down on a situation that you might be involved in. Even if your 100% in the right and you have all 5 steps and it’s all on camera. Home Depot will protect there brand and fire you for whatever reason they see fit.

Business Outlook

Pros

paycheck arrives on time, they tolerate a lot of absences.

Cons

minimum wage goes up, they increase wages for those on the bottom but everyone else does not get a "cost of living increase", as they call it. making years of experience worth no extra pay. we have people that have been there 6 years that make starting wages and are twice as fast as the new guys. you get no extra money for any skill you possess, nothing for lift equipment certifications, nothing for being a trainer on that equipment, nothing for being a key carrier, nothing for getting cashier trained, nothing for learning departments other than yours so you can cover when they need it. Walmart offers better benefits and the same starting wage. being behind walmart is disgraceful.
