Pros

the manager is nice so... yeah

Cons

where to start... the amount of work vs pay is not there... the reverse pyramid thing they try and convince you of is pure baloney... 55 billion in profits last year and they spent 15 billion of it on stock buy backs... 475000 employees could each make $30,000 more a year roughly a $10 and hour raise if the reverse pyramid thing was true... but no its all just smoke and mirrors... no employee discounts and profit sharing is a complete joke... they blatantly lie during training about unions and are not afraid to state that if you belong to a union you will be fired if you speak about unions they will lie and say that you are not working with other employees and fired... theres more... but im not going to put it all here

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.
