Pros

I like the fact that they switch managemet at least every to years. The new managers have new ideas and they try to put them in place. The District Manager Bob is the best district manager we have had since we opened in August 2004. He is very understanding and listens to the associates and their concerns if they have any. He will also jump in and help on the floor if he is needed. It looks like we are going to make our sales for the quarter, which means we will sucsess share and receive a nice check in sept.

Cons

the management team are not team players. If the management team can not work together, how in the hell do we expect the associates to work together. # 6176 has been like this since August 2004. Laying off all HR was a mistake. Now we have no one to turn to but a telephone if you have any issues with a manager or an associate. Management play favorites to a few selected associates and let's them have what ever they want, when the want it. Reviews are never done on time since we have lost our human Res. manager, Connie.

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.
