Pros

its a job that pays the bills somewhat. If you want to work long hours for little pay you can advance within the company. They do give some nice benefits like cell phone discounts.

Cons

Its a gossip mill, management degrades you, the most of the associates are all sleeping with other associates who work there and don't think anyone knows about it. Some of whom are married. Raises are very low. With the cost of living and fuel rising you'd think they could do something about that. Management doesn't do anything, they sit in their offices all day as do some of the department heads.

Pros

The Home Depot has a solid moral compass. They aren't about sacrificing their ethics for the sake of a sale, which I love. They also hire a diverse group of people and give a lot back to the community. They offer a lot of benefits and little treats for their employees. Although they push their associates to meet quota, they're realistic about what can and can't be accomplished.

Cons

Home Depot has two different sides to it. Store associates and those of us considered "store support" who are payed by the vendors but work in the stores 100% of the time. I constantly hear about how store associates are stressed out by management and their hours are being rearranged a lot, cut, and they often are stretched thin due to lack of full staffing. "Store support" associates who do merchandising have it better than those who work in specific departments. However, you never really gain knowledge unless you have the time to look things up and read packaging.
