Pros
Great work/life balance, flexible hours, work from home, good pay to start, equity awards, great ESPP program, management is very friendly and personable, wide array of personality types
Cons
Company had incredible growth last year during pandemic but awarded 2.5% raises to everyone across the board, regardless of performance. Doesn’t even cover inflation. Also, internal company culture is very left-leaning. They don’t care about diversity of thought, only surface level check boxes.

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.
