Pros

I loved my job. My co-workers, for the most part, were great! Smart, fun to work with, etc. That's one thing Home Depot is good at doing, hiring great people.

Cons

They get rid of their great people because of some bias. I thought I had no enemies there, but I was wrong. Management is corrupt. I was investigated for unintentionally mis-reporting my start time on a time correction sheet and was fired the next day. I was blind sided. They had just recently made me full time and given me the Pro Cashier position with a M-F set schedule. And then BAM, I'm gone... WTF They said I intentionally lied about what time I had come in. I had never been written up for anything before or talked to by management to indicate they had any problems with me. It was a BS excuse. There was something else going on there, but I will never know what it was.

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.
