Pros

For the MET team its a pretty laid back job Im 20 years old so for myself it seems like theres a lot of room for advancement within the Depot itself. I make a good pay check every week and I get weekends off, How could I complain. Im going to my second interview for an in store Kitchen Designer position. I went to high school for architecture and college for business so I believe I have the experience and drive that the Depot needs and should be looking for. So I know first hand that the opertunity is there within the company. But I do believe that Just like upper management has to communicate with you. You have to communicate with them as well. Ive worked on the MET Team for6 months and I'm already being thought of for a position that has a very low turnaround rate. Luckily for myself I go to 5 different stores a week and I get to meet and talk to the store managers and other designers on a regular basis. But if you want anything Ive learned you have to be willing to push for it. Luckily I learned that already Im 20 years old.

Cons

I dont work at a store, but i can imagine some of the things I already know I wont like about being a store associate. But Cons on the MET Team I would have to say is in the big picture not really something you might see everywhere on every MET team. My division The supervisors of each dept. and their leads seem to be working against each other. Which doesn't help mold good associates such as anyone in my position.

Pros

*Co-workers were like family, everyone was so considerate and friendly towards one another. *Certain managers would "have your back" when issues would arise between you and a customer or you and another co-worker. *There were times when I did not feel as if I was going to "work" but rather a place to meet my friends. *They give you enough time to train in other dept's.

Cons

*Management does not really care for their associates they are only concerned with sales and love to gossip in the office. *"The customer is always right" Ha! yeah right! *Quarterly raises sucked..I knew some ppl who were getting $1.00 raises and what did I get? $0.10! I was a very hard worker too.
