What is the hiring process like at The Home Depot?

the associates, seeing them learn and grow with the company, is great! salary can be good if the plan to sales is realistic (determined by district manager). helping customers and solve their problems, increase their property's value. Donations to local organizations (not just 25$ coupons) of materials, always makes you feel good!!

raises are crap, ive seen state minimums bring 7-10 year associates salaries the same as a new hire. poor managers who got to position by "who they knew" rather than being a good leader. if you obtain a target on your back, they will performance you out while ignoring their friends. Store manager will put you on tasks that do not help your areas, then again, performance you on other areas that are falling behind. district HR is just a puppet to keep out unions and stop information/problems from going up to higher levels. days off are non-existant, and ive seen managers work 6 day work weeks, destroying their families due to threats from store managers. store managers have little to no leadership and claim to be servant leaders, yet they are just metric based transaction managers (unless they don't like you, they ignore your accomplishments). Even seen write ups on managers who were on LOA (for birth of a baby).

Learn a lot in a short amount of time.

Management lacked consistency and provided minimal support for employee success. The onboarding process was disorganized and left new hires without the training and resources needed to perform effectively. Compensation did not align with workload, expectations, or responsibilities. Additionally, there was a workplace culture where concerns related to racial and gender bias were not adequately addressed, creating an environment that felt exclusionary and inequitable.

My manager was passionate about the work that we did so he was always involved with us interns.

It was a bit disorganized during the onboarding process.

I really like working at the Home Depot. I have worked here for 5.5 years and its getting me through college. They do tuition help which is amazing. The managers are always so wonderful and understanding that I am in school and help me with my schedule. For example, I started a residency at a hospital that was overnights. I worked with them and they moved all my shifts and helped me find coverage. My supervisor is my favorite. Everyone is easy to get along with.

As with any big store, there is always minor drama going around. If you avoid the drama it will avoid you. I have had rare issues and those were all resolved promptly. If you work full-time they are a little less flexible with your schedule which is good to remember.
