Pros

good team members, you become like family benefits, for part-time and full-time employees awards, homer awards, after a certain number you get monetary awards discounts at other retailers, after one year of employment you receive many discounts from fine retail

Cons

if you want a promotion forget about it, it will take forever to get and they don't support you through it they don't want to pay you for the work you're doing assign you many tasks without pay or credit management only cares about themselves, taking all the credit for the good things and sabotaging the group for any mistakes made they are too afraid of their own superiors and don't care if they step over you to get where they want to go

Pros

The Home Depot has a solid moral compass. They aren't about sacrificing their ethics for the sake of a sale, which I love. They also hire a diverse group of people and give a lot back to the community. They offer a lot of benefits and little treats for their employees. Although they push their associates to meet quota, they're realistic about what can and can't be accomplished.

Cons

Home Depot has two different sides to it. Store associates and those of us considered "store support" who are payed by the vendors but work in the stores 100% of the time. I constantly hear about how store associates are stressed out by management and their hours are being rearranged a lot, cut, and they often are stretched thin due to lack of full staffing. "Store support" associates who do merchandising have it better than those who work in specific departments. However, you never really gain knowledge unless you have the time to look things up and read packaging.
