Pros

Working at The Home Depot has greatly increased a crucial life skill for me; that skill being communication. Building strong relationships with customers & employees. Getting involved in the community;The Home Depot pairing up with Habitat for Humanity is an amazing combination. Great pay Experience/knowledge gained by working for a great company

Cons

Having to park in the furthest parking spot away from the building. Having to close at 11:00 p.m.; then having to open in the morning at 6:00 a.m. The redundant dropping a pallet, then skying it over a 10x a week due to poor planing; wasting shrink wrap and time that could be spent helping the customer.

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.
