The Home Depot reviews

Be prepared to work a very erratic schedule. You will be scheduled one day at 6am to 3pm. Then a 3pm to 12am. Followed by a 6am or 9am shift. You will not be able to spend much time with your spouse and children since you will be tired on your days off. Rarely do you get two days off in a row or have the weekends off. You are punished at times for calling out sick on weekends and holidays. It can be very stressfull at times. Full time employees generally have to work around the part-timers fixed schedules. The company is so understaffed, you will have to be able to deal with angry and impatient customers all day long. It's normal to go home very tired or angry. The company is so overly micro-managed and report driven that the basics get overlooked. Don't expect much of a pay raise. Once a year you get your monetary raise and you are lucky if you get three percent. Usually a two percent. Turnover is out of sight!

If I could afford the health, welfare and 401K on what they pay. The scheduled hours are terrible. 1:00PM till 10:00 PM one day only to return as early as 6:00AM and 8:00AM the next day are very nerve weary. As well, these scheduled hours are fairly consistent with no firm days off or weekend days off form one week to the next.
