Home Depot – “Home Depot store manager”

Pros

Pay was good and bonus could potentially be great. Ability to order product and react to hot sellers was also a plus.

Cons

It seems the company has focused too much on stock price and Wall Street's perception rather than remembering that the company was founded on helping customers gain confidence in their projects. They have scaled back too much in payroll and the quality help you are able to hire ends up leaving because of excess workload.

Advice to Senior Management

Loosen up payroll constraints. Sales will eventually follow and pay for the added labor if you were to regain the reputation of being able to offer the help as advertised 24/7 on commercials. Forget about stock price and get back to basics.
