Pros
-co-workers...there are many interesting and talented people that work for Home Depot. My peers and subordinates are truly the only reason I still work for HD -benefits...for a retail company the HD offers decent benefits for it's salaried and hourly workers ranging from Health and Wellness to 401(k) with match after 90 days. Many retail organizations do not offer great benefits to their part time workers and HD offers the same as they do to their full timers. -change...if you hate working in an environment where you feel like things are stagnating then HD is the place for you...change is what the company is all about...sadly though they're not managing to change their customer service back to the way it was
Cons
-the public. While an understaffed store (due to corporate mandate) tries their hardest to help the customer it is amazing how truly nasty people can be when forced to wait just a little longer... -the recent change within HR. I believe that the organization has made a mistake moving HRMs out of their stores. While the concept of district HRs who handle different aspects of the job is innovative I think that the associates are unlikely to bring issues to someone who is a face they've only met once or a phone number on the wall. We as a company are truly doing our associates a disservice.
