Home Depot Employer Reviews

A typical day is alright, but I like when its busy because it makes the time go by faster. I've learned a lot working in this type of business. The management is getting better because at one time the store manager that we had didn't tell you anything; but the other managers are very friendly and easy to get along with. My co-workers are very nice, – more... we all work together as a TEAM. The hardest part about working here is really nothing its a very easy job. The most enjoyable part about working at this store is dealing and talking to the customers. – less

Typical day consists of interacting with customers and helping them find what they need or give them advice for their own home improvement projects. It also involves down stocking shelves and making sure the store appearance is neat, clean and organized. I have learned valuable skills in communication, organization and time managament by working at – more... the home depot. I feel that the management skills of the managers is not the most efficient especially in HR in scheduling employees. I feel some managers pick favorites and assign employees they do not like or are new harder work then others. The hardest part of the job is running back and forth helping customers, in addition to carrying heavy boxes multiple times up and down a ladder. The most enjoyable part about this job is when you find the product that the customer is looking for and they are satisfied and you are thanked for helping them. – less

I enjoy my job at The Home Depot, the people I work with create a friendly work environment and make it possible to laugh off the stresses of the day. Everyone works fairly well as a team and we take care of the customers as well as we can. I have learned even better time management skills and make light of tough situations, keep my head up high and – more... keep going full speed ahead. When I put my mind towards reaching a goal I will reach it, even if I have to ask for help. I have one particular co-worker at the store who is extremely knowledgeable about the entire store, and is all the time moving. He answers any questions I may have and teaches me different information i need to know in order to further assist our customers. My personal favorite thing about Home Depot is the Homer Fund. The Homer Fund is a donation based program where associates can donate as much as they want on a weekly basis to help out other associates who may need it for an emergency situation such as a family member has lost their job, or their home has caught fire. Any associate can collect from the Homer Fund after applying to get some of the money. After getting approval they will be able to get help from the Home Depot associates. – less

I enjoyed my time working at Home Depot. My co-workers as well as management were very helpful.

Very friendly environment. Gets very busy at times throughout the day. When it was busy it was constant moving, helping customers, picking up stuff putting it back on the shelves. We it wasn't busy I had to find things to do such as clean up the work station, sweep the floors etc

My job function is to ensure all lighting and ceiling fans are instock online to exceed sales plan while out vendors deliver high service levels. I partner with various cross functional teams when onboarding new vendors, forecasting, system maintenance, finance and marketing.
