Home Depot Reviews

Pros

There is plenty of room for growth in The Home Depot where you could get hired as a Pro Loader and work your way inside to departments or farther. There is rarely a slow moment whilst on the floor. Health and dental benefits are given to both part and full time employees along with employee discounts outside of the store.

Cons

The scheduling system often schedules departments to the bare minimum employees needed. Because it is a big box store with well over 40,000 different products, sometimes a customer question is out of your own hands and finding a knowledgeable associate is impossible.

Pros

Good benefits and good environment/safe and i love my co-worker

Cons

sometimes hours are not well satisfied,

Advice to Senior Management

Give us more hours

Pros

It is a decent job that is somewhat flexible with scheduling. Pay isn't too bad and vacation time and bonuses are nice, although bonus checks aren't really great for part-timers usually.

Cons

Not everyone that works there is the brightest and a lot of things dont quite make sense. It's retail, so everything changes all the time and you have to follow plan even though often times there are much better ways to do things.

Advice to Senior Management

Overall, I haven't had any major problems with leadership that aren't common in other places. I feel like assistant store managers are not always the brightest people and I wonder how some of them got their jobs. However, I think this is a common occurrence amongst many work places. The one thing that has bothered me is when something is not their task or they are unable to do it, many managers have been unhelpful in assisting on how or who is able to do it(ex. sign paper work or approve something).

Pros

Career Growth Opportunity. Leadership Opportunity. Perfect environment and respectful co-workers. You'll learn a lot of things about home improvement. Lastly, you may be able to get great employee discount ( outside of Home Depot though)

Cons

Very Unlikely to get a reasonable raise. No Fix schedule. High mental capacity and emotionally stable in order to deal with complex and demanding customers. After all we Home Depot) are known for for being the Number 1 retailer for good customer service.

Advice to Senior Management

Design a policy that will give off cycle raise to successful associates. Create a least two-three weeks of fix schedule. Create meetings and or seminar/newsletter awareness for company stock opportunity.

Good pay, good people, great training, opportunity for those who work. Home Depot is, overall, the best retail employer I have ever worked for. They have given me ample opportunity to advance, and accomodate associates who are team players. The company is great about allowing you to develop skills in multiple departments, and recognizes accomplishment.

Favoritism, failure to promote from the stores to corporate, no preference given for seniority.
