Pros

If you work there you learn more about completing things around the home. Being a more do-it-yourself kind of person.

Cons

You will be asked to participate in a number of things that are not apart of your regular job description.

Advice to Senior Management

Worked at Home Depot while I was in school, and even though I was told that it was not a problem, it progressively became one with the management. They were not willing to bend on a lot of things.

Pros

Flexible scheldules, reasonable coworkers, and some oppurtunities to advance as long as you are on the management team "good side".

Cons

you will stay in the same position as hired if you end up on management's "bad side". managers will tend to pick favorites and it'll be noticeable during store meetings when the same people win the awards everytime.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay more, if an individual moves up position, he / she should be entitled to a higher pay, don't expect high level of work completion if the individual is getting paid anywhere from .50 to $4.00 less than their peers of the same position

Weak Senior Management. Top down dictative management

Cons

Its a popularity contest . Its very "clicky" Very lttle room for advancement.

Advice to Senior Management

Be respectful to your employees . It goes a long way . Communicate within the company better. Decisions are often made hastily without asking questions or having a realistic plan.

Pros

They are fair about sick time and vacation time.

Cons

Human resources promised a raise within the first 90 days, and low balled me when starting employment. After one year of very hard work, a manager that never saw me work was assigned to assess my raise and gave me a 3% raise on minimum wage instead and failed to even prorate my pay from my anniversary forward. Strong word of advise would be to negotiate a higher than normal starting salary because they do not give good raises. Get all promises in writing, or you will get the "My hands are tied" BS.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire honest and responsible HR managers and make sure when they promise things to your staff, make sure they do so. Lying to staff creates an uncomfortable and disgruntled staff.

Pros

good benefits for the part time associates

Cons

low pay rate for associated with prior experience

Pros

Coworkers made it a fun place to work.

Cons

Working retail is a unfulfilling career.
