Home Depot Canada Reviews

Pros

Great Benefits even for part time, Social Committee so lots of fun events, Employer of Choice, working with customers is fun, family atmosphere.

Cons

It's retail so evenings and weekends are required.
Most of the jobs are part time
Wages are comparable to other retail positions but still not great

Pros

It's a job where there is room to move around in departments. Every day is a new day. Management for the most part is respectful. Some I think are slow.

Cons

They want you to sell credit cards. I refuse because other workers will swoop in and take the kill so to speak. It's all about the numbers and not customer satisfaction and getting that return customer. They promise you benifits even if your working part time 20 hOurs a week. I haven't seen them and ive been there 8 months. You have to worry about job security in the winter because they don't lay people off they fire them instead. So if your not kissing someone's ass and you stick up for yourself. Your gone.

Advice to Senior Management

For the few who are doing a great job. Thanks for the support and a job well done. But the other ones who walk around with a clip board and won't bend down or lift a finger for a customer. Think about how frustrating it is as a customer knowing you've been there forever and could answer the question in 2 seconds or help them grab something but you decide to "get someone". The manager of the store would outwork anyone and she's great to the employees who work and give a hard time to those who don't. Great job

Pros

meeting people. fr some of ur senior staff it's the only reason we work. not for the money

Cons

limited competance in management. leadership and encouragement is non-existant. management don't provide the tools to sell. this is thetotal of what Ihad to say to complete the 20 words.

Advice to Senior Management

this is a big question. for one the should become more aware of issues in the store...this s only a reflection of one store and should not be interpreted as for the whole company

Pros

You can develop skills of multi-tasking, reporting to different managers with different priorities, business management, dealing with difficult customer situations, and setting your own priorities. Many transferrable skills are developed including dealing with difficult situations, improving the customer shopping experience, S.A.P. computer experience, and safety in the workplace.

Cons

Management concentrates on credit to improve the customer shopping experience, while there are so many more areas that can be improved, including better inventory control and improved floor coverage.

Pros

The benefits and the workers are great but the management is suspect.

Cons

Unfair dismissal, write ups and the inability of higher management to see through the layers of ineffectiveness by lower management.
