Pros

Home Depot is almost always hiring and is a well recognized company. Salary ranges are reasonable for the positions.

Cons

Home Depot management was very judgemental on issues that do not pertain to performance. Managment is focused way too much on appearances regardless of the quality of work and employees are expected to keep extra long hours. A work life balance was difficult because of the hours and it is takes forever to get out of the parking deck. Also there was a secret network of communication where managment bashes the employees. It was not a comfortable environment to work in.

Pros

Home Depot was a great place to work. The overall atmosphere was professional, but there was still an element that was down to earth. Management was friendly and "on the floor" much of the time, and very helpful if an associate needed assistance. Communication seemed above average, however, it is one of those areas that can always use improvement and fine tuning. The overall compensation and benefit package seemed above average, having insurance for both full time and part time employees. Career opportunities seemed to be there, however, finding an open position may be tough when many associates would choose to stay rather than leave. Very flexible for students, always working with the class schedule in order to fit them in.

Cons

Many people have the image of Home Depot while it was under previous management. They are really making an effort to put the associates needs first, and change the corporate culture of the company for the positive.

Pros

People are always coming to Home Depot (especially contractors). You really get to know alot of good people, maybe get some connections when you need a contractor, as well as learning a lot of new stuff about home improvement. Everyone is really nice, and you will always get a lot of friends, whether from other employees or customers. I have only been working at Home Depot for a couple of months, and I know everyone in my store (even night crew). Not only are those things great, but other things such as discounts (T-Mobile), and benefits. The Home Depot has a lot of benefits that can help anyone.

Cons

Some customers are just plain rude.
