Pros

it's close to my home.

Cons

no employee discounts! only 6 days of holidays for the year (most companies have 11). no sick time. the HQ is poorly planned, poorly maintained (carpet repaired with duct tape), and even the signs for the exit point the wrong way in the parking deck. outdated IT systems (when i started in 2005, the software loaded on the computer was office 97!). boys club vibe from the top all the way down. on top of all this, employees were encouraged & expected to participate in a corporate cheer at meetings to show company loyalty.

Pros

Lots of training, opportunity to learn many new things, reasonable medical benefits.

Cons

No regular shifts, wildly varying schedules, sometimes only 5 hours between work shifts (i.e., work until midnight, then start at 5AM the next morning). Most employees must always work every weekend.

Pros

Home Depot tries to pride itself on promoting those who do their job the best. They succeed most of the time. Wages are above average, but ask for a higher wage from the start; it's hard to get raises in the future.

Cons

Part-time workers can have a hard time having any stability in how many hours they work a week.
