HD Supply Employee Reviews about "upper management"

Pros

It’s a paycheck. Plenty of room for pay increase, no room for advancement. Can work overtime if you want because time over 40 hrs is usually not enforced/payed attention to.

Cons

DC Management is not firm on protocol. Need to discipline employees for slow productivity and quality. Enforce cleaning policy. Our warehouse is filthy! No communication skills whatsoever from upper management and corporate.

Great benefits, great coworkers, before the new regime it was actually a good place to work not so much now

Cons

Upper management has no idea what theyre doing regular management can care less about theyre employees sink or swim mentality has to go

Pros

Decent pay with ok benefits

Cons

Terrible leadership in team lead positions. If you enjoy a high school environment and working with cliques you will fit right in. Upper management and human resources require much needed training in employee relations and dealing with employees with special needs. Not disability friendly!

Pros

The people you work with as a team are great , Make friends fast and we all worked as a team

Cons

If your on FMLA watch out they will try and get rid of you faster than you can say ' what' HR does not have your back and if you complain it only makes things worse. very unprofessional management who thinks there Jokes are funny at others cost. They set you up to fail if they don't want you there. Upper management are known to say ' ya that person should be quitting soon' and laugh. they will tear you down until you have no confidence left . Hard work does not pay off and they use associate against associate causing a hostile very uncomfortable work environment. If your not with the in crowd as I mean kissing someone's butt your not in . New manager is incompetent when it comes to associates and will walk right by you and run to say hello to their favorites. If you try to move up with the company forget it . They have the person picked already and will tell them to apply so you have no chance to advance.

Pros

Branch level associates are great people that are fun to work with.

Cons

These are my opinions based on my experience in Colorado, Arizona, Texas and, Southern California. There is way too much big brother, watching, and dictating, the smallest detail of daily customer interaction. There are way too many directives, usually to cut expenses or head count, at the expense of salaried workers family time. The best performers are overloaded and burning out. Inventory control form corporate is not realistic. They need to give middle management enough rope the pull the wagon. Upper management needs to trust the middle managers to do their job. (If they are managers, let them manage.) Upper management makes way too many people placement and termination decisions based on emotion and friendships. (Upper Management = Regional Management)

Pros

Great focus on health! The people I work with are incredible.

Cons

We are being moved to Atlanta. Which I get is a good for the business but people and departments are being let go left and right. While many of us were told just a couple months ago we were 'safe' and were going to be able to stay we are now being let go too. This has made many people in the San Diego office not trust the upper management. It seems like direction is being changed on a whim with no thought process on a solid future direction. I'm really not bitter, I like the company but the way this is being handled is shadey

Pros

Pay was very competitive. Location was well maintained. Company invested a lot in IT. Upper management appears to know what they are doing as business is growing at very good rates.

Cons

A lot of incompetent people in middle management (Director, Senior Management). They will work you to death with no regard for personal life. Promotions are done based on friendships. Company is not bad, IT Department seemed to be really badly managed. A lot of backstabbing going around. Very inefficient how IT was executing. IT Leadership inconsistent in their decisions, always listening to gossips and take actions based on gossips.
