Pros

-Competitive salary for the industry. -Stock matching program is decent.

Cons

-Work load increased by 50-100% with only an increase in salary of 3% over a year. -Work life balance really depends on what team you get. -If you fail that's a "you" problem and not a process problem kind of mentality (my department specifically). -As per many companies, a lot of office politics. -Hiring people for senior position but to end up giving you junior in interview with the opportunity to get senior with good work. Except they rarely promote, honestly a very disingenuous approach to the hiring process. Seen it happen a few times. -People that work countless unpaid OT are constantly praised for their efforts.

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.
