      Very laid back environment, lots to learn, and low pressure from management. Just do your job and not be an idiot.

      Cons

      Nothing in particular. Usual retail environment. More than often, it's the customers who make your time a living hell.

      Advice to Management

      Encourage more department based socials as oppose to store wide, seeing that the store is so huge at times. There were some folks on my team I had no clue that they were apart of it.

      Pros

      Easy going work environment, with great training tools provided, as well as hands on learning. Recognition for great work and sales is always appreciated there and rewarded.

      Cons

      Miscommunication between associates, departments and management. High stress to resolve consumer conflicts. Scheduling for associates is terrible, there is no set rotation of hours, so you can't plan your life outside of work.

      Pros

      A great support group of associates when experiencing stress on the job. And some stand-out, but few, amazing supervisors.

      Cons

      It is agreed among associates at the Home Depot Canada that there are "too many Chiefs and not enough Indians". They do not have the bodies to fill the sales floor and provide customers with the satisfaction they seek and have seen in popular media advertising. Instead, the many on duty managers and supervisors are too preoccupied by their store phones and blackberries to ease the congestion of customer dissatisfaction.

      Advice to Management

      Be on the floor more often, work nights, and work weekends occasionally. Be a sales associate once a week. Appreciation and consideration of the work of your employees should be recognized outside of the VOC system and occasional employee appreciation lunch.
