The Home Depot New York Reviews

Pros

Easygoing work days and wonderful coworkers, not so easy hours and pressure from assistant managers who hate their jobs. Still a good experience.

Advice to Management

Equality always progresses

Pros

Almost always promote from within -- one of the few places someone with a high-school education can make six figures

Advice to Management

Increase associate pay!

Pros

Amazing salary and benefits
Great company pride

Advice to Management

Create better schedules to accommodate for a better work-life balance.
Working for 10 hour days isn't productive! Get out of the old gaurd 10 hour days schedules and you'll see a difference in productivity and employee retention.

Pros

If you are retired, collage student, want to fill in some hours and make a few dollars, this can work. Fellow co-workers can be the support.

Advice to Management

Having worked in more than one location, store management varies, communication is very poor, employees are VERY UNDERSTAFFED, scheduled work hours, lunch breaks often NOT covered (an employee needs to go find AND SEARCH their own coverage throughout the store to take scheduled lunch or as what happens MANY times,, there is no Dept coverage).
If an employee works over 40 hrs they are expected to leave early another day (except on a weekend) to keep weekly hrs under 40,,,, sad,,, at 10-11$ hr at time/half really ????
Truly believe upper management has no concerns and is satisfied with poor customer satisfaction ( told to leave, punch out , to avoid overtime even if helping a customer), employee turnover ratio and is accepted.
Advice,, Home Depot is loosing touch,,
Not seeking/ paying qualified people to fill positions. (example) Doors/Windows/ Garage Doors etc Dept. , Every person in the Dept. cannot lift the required items, cannot drive a required Reach machine and seek assistance from others to help (while customers wait).
Salaries are VERY poor, 10.-11.$ an hour for an able working skilled adult qualified in customer support, physical labor, sales, reliability, does not cut it. And after one year,, expect a maybe,, 30 cent raise.
Assistant managers are stretched,, and all is put on them, and the ASMs just put it all on the Dept Supervisors, then the associates.
A Dept which requires a machine (Fork-lift/Reach) that requires 2-persons should NOT have one person scheduled. This happens regularly,,
The money will be made but so much more can be done.
