Pros

Work here only if you need a paycheck. The workload is definitely not in line with what they pay employees. I suppose if you need a summer job or something quick, it could be acceptable short term, but definitely not long term

Cons

They expect way too much for very little pay. Maybe my HD was just extremely understaffed, but there were no more new hires, and so didn't look like they were trying to decrease peoples workloads. The people who had been there a long time, knew how to work the system, and management turns its head and acts like they are great employees. If you bust your butt trying to do a good job, you are viewed as trying to get someone else job.

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.
