I worked at The Home Depot part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Everything about working here was great, definitely somewhere I'd recommend to anyone.
Cons
No pay raises, only bonuses
Advice to Management
Pay raises after a certain amount of time
I worked at The Home Depot full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Fairly reasonable with time off requests. Annual raises. As full time employee, you are always scheduled 40 hours. Ability to transfer within the company to a different state. Fast paced and always changing.
Cons
In my 15+ years I had seen alot of people come and go. Mostly, in the last few years, I witnessed a great deal of favoritism. It was disheartening to say the least. Unfornutaly when accusations are said, management would not look at the situation from both sides and would take the attitude that because a person was a "Supervisor" that person would automatically be correct in the accusation. There were many times that I would see my direct "Supervisor" on personal phone calls with her Mom. It got to be so bad that she would continue her conversation while I would have a huge line, try to help customers by myself. Then at other times, when there were no customers, I would make a phone call to schedule a medical appointment. While on the phone, still no customers at the desk, the "Supervisor would say " Is that a personal call?" It would make me feel like i was in school being caught doing something wrong!
There were also a lot if favoritism when it came to "certain" employees not being at work when scheduled and nothing would happen to them. The management even knew that the associate was in school and would not be in till after 5:00pm. but they wo ui old still schedule th as t person at 3:00pm to cover the metrics.
All in all I had a good experience in my 18+ years up till the end. I had also seen a few other long time associates (10-17 years) get terminated for reasons that were just shocking, and stupid. As much as the company says they are like family, in the end I was shocked to see quite the opposite. WE ARE ALL JUST NUMBERS!!! Unless you are one of the favorites. If you choose to work for them have a great time but also beware!!!
I gave a lot of my life to Home Depot and in my time of need I feel I was just kicked to the side
Advice to Management
Please see the cons and take it in to consideration. EVERY person's situation needs to be look at individually.

I have been working at The Home Depot part-time (More than a year)
Pros
Many of the Cashiers they hired were High Schoolers including myself at the time. The pay is much better than any other similar job and the hours are very very flexible! I was able to get consistent hours each week that worked well with my school schedule. Although I never used it, they seemed to have a great benefits package that even part-timers could utilize.
Cons
There were no real incentives to move up. Head Cashiers were barely paid more than regular cashiers yet their duties and responsibility doubled. Many store managers push to cross-train people into multiple departments but even if you know each department fully, there's little to no rewards.
Advice to Management
Give more incentives to want to improve and grow

I have been working at The Home Depot part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
- Some of the coworkers are decent people
- Emphasis on career development: management seems to think you'll be with the company for decades
Cons
- Typical retail job: amount of hours fluctuate, customers flood the place, and there is a definite emphasis on the quantity of bays processed rather than the quality. That said, the higher-ups then complain about the poor service quality exacted on the bays.
Advice to Management
Have the employees slow down and take their time in order to ensure that every bay is as good as it's going to get. The wages, of course, should be raised to at least fifteen dollars per hour. A livable wage shouldn't be too much to ask for from one of the top-earning retailers in the world.
I worked at The Home Depot part-time (More than a year)
Pros
- Decent wage for a part-time job
- Co-workers were cool with me
- Encouraged career development
Cons
- Lack of employees in the aisles to help out customers
- Unorganized/negligent product storage led to long waiting times and outraged customers
- Cliques between management and some employees
Advice to Management
Even though I was an employee of a subsidiary of THD and not an employee under store management, I had the obligation of helping out customers because there were not enough employees covering their departments. Hire more employees to cover the aisles and develop a well-organized storage system (overhead storage in the aisles).

Pros
Good coworkers, a lot you can learn from the job.
Cons
You can be told to do something by a manager then fired for it later on.
I worked at The Home Depot part-time (More than a year)
Pros
Clean and friendly environment to work in
Cons
Atleast at my home depot, there wasnt any cons
Advice to Management
Training on certain cashiers
I worked at The Home Depot part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Established, well-known company
Professional environment
Routine work
Cons
Part-time employees are not given full-time
Micro-managing runs rampant
Pay and benefits are very low
Advice to Management
Micro-managing your employees is counter-productive and breeds resentment. Morale is not helped by perpetually unstocked break rooms with unserviced equipment. There's a lot of talk about "core values", but put your money where your mouth is if you expect to build strong teams for quality customer service.
