as long as your attitude is right with a angry customer then the day a go bye alright, other than that other associates are great team players when it come to other task
A fun place to work, fellow employees always made it wroth while
Garden Associate (Former Employee) – Mechanicsville, VA – March 21, 2019
A typical day at work would include constant customer service and help around the store, if I wasn't doing that I would be restocking shelves or cleaning up around my department. I learned how to drive and use machine equipment such as the forklift. The culture of the workplace was always in a good way. The hardest part of the job would be trying to locate a specific important item if it could not be found, especially if it was curtail to find it to advance to the next task. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with my fellow employees as well as the customers.
Pros
Breaks and Flexible hours
Cons
Micro-Management
friendly customers & friendly employees..I would consider them my job family!
Home Depot Cashier (Current Employee) – Harrison, AR – March 21, 2019
Although it would be good to get more hours, the pay is well for the amount of work you do..I am a cashier..and I don’t dis enjoy my job st all. When everyone is full of good vibes, it puts everyone working and the customers in a good mood.
Pros
good pay, hour lunches, fair treatment...management is good
Great place to work, would recommend to anyone
Freight/Deliveries/Lumber/Garden Associate (Former Employee) – Auburn Hills, MI – March 21, 2019
I loved working at the Home Depot. It was a great experience and a great learning experience. I am honestly thinking about going back to work there if the opportunity arose because it was so enjoyable.
Good
Department Manager, PIC (Key Holder) (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – March 21, 2019
Home Depot was a good company to work for. The training provided to associates was some of the best and most thorough I have received from any employer. The managers I worked with were very professional and led with a purpose.
Easy job doesn't pay well
Freight Associate (Current Employee) – Sacramento, CA – March 21, 2019
It is an easy job and the expectations are reasonable. the people are very nice and it has a good company culture. the pay is bad and there are not promotions or raises until you have been there working full time for at least five years.
Pros
easy
Cons
pay
Really great place to work.
Home Depot Associate (Former Employee) – Cedar City, UT – March 21, 2019
Home depot was the best job I had and the best part was the people you work with and the recognition you get. The only bad thing is the pay since some associates are trained for lift equipment and the y don't get paid more for operating heavy machinery.
Pros
Fellow associates
Cons
Short time frames

Sales Associate and Freight Team Supervisor (Former Employee) – Huntington Park, CA – March 21, 2019
Learned a lot of my customer service and retail skills here. Had alot of opportunities to rise up on the corporate ladder but could not due to the schedule i needed at the time
Fast paced, customer service oriented
Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee) – New Albany, IN – March 21, 2019
Fast paced, customer service oriented, can be stressful during peak seasons. Have to be flexible in work hours since you are in retail. Store Manager team is very ridged and sometimes unapproachable
Pros
Good benefits
Cons
If the store manager doesn’t like you, they will find a way to get rid of you
The Home Depot
Field Staffing Manager (Midsouth Region) Moving (Current Employee) – Atlanta, GA – March 21, 2019
Great company to work with depending on your career level and need for advancement. You must network within the company to grow and the opportunity to do so is wide open. You have to understand the business well and build a footprint for yourself and not wait for someone else to do it for you. Its a very large company with lots of opportunity.
Fair enough place to work.
Freight Team Associate (Former Employee) – Hayward, CA – March 21, 2019
Fine place to work for those that take care of business. Can't say much for management staff for day shift as I worked overnight but management for overnight shift was pretty solid. Overnight crew was consistently recognized and rewarded by management for good work performance. Most often the lack of day crew completing task overlapped and make the work for night crew a little harder. Day crew had a very bad habit of using lift equipment and not putting on charge for night use so night crew would lose valuable time charging up equipment.
Pros
Flexibility
Cons
day crew didn't seem to be held to the same standard as night crew
Great company
Customer Service Manager/Bookkeeper (Current Employee) – Saginaw, MI – March 20, 2019
Great company to work for . Always willing to teach you new things and always taking care of their employees, only thing I would say wrong is it’s not a lot or full time here but that’s the only thing I can name
Not enough help or training and often understaffed.
Cashier (Current Employee) – United States – March 20, 2019
HR never called in enough people. As a cashier, there usually is only one other cashier to help carry the load of customers, even worse during rush hours. Head Cashiers were rarely there to help, often walking away to talk to other associates. Expected to fulfill multiple roles throughout the store while juggling customers. Would not recommend if you're bad at multitasking and/or not a big people's person. Training is watching videos and getting to push buttons on the register for one day. Often no one there to relieve you so don't expect consistency with your schedule as for lunches and breaks or leaving on time.
Cons
Inconsistent scheduling, understaffed, very little training and help.
The Wrong company to work for.
Customer Service Associate/Cashier (Former Employee) – 3860 North Lake Blvd,Lake Park Fl – March 20, 2019
Working For This Company Is Stressful... You Get Treated Unfairly ...The Managers Have no respect for their employees.. U work like a slave there ...they don't appreciate nothing or give u anything for the hard work u do..but force u to get home depot credit cards..and they let u get bullied by other co workers and don't do anything about it....Don't apply for this job if u do good luck.
Pros
Employees don't get discounts.
Cons
Work long hours and like a slave ..and dont get awarded for your work bad company to work for.
The best retail store out there
Part-Time Store Associate (Current Employee) – Clifton, NJ – March 20, 2019
Once you put the orange apron on its about serving others to the best of you can. A typical day consist of assisting in your department or in other departments if needed.
You learn about home projects through courses that are offer to associates. Management is great and supportive. Hardest part is to practice patience with customers. Enjoyable part would be seeing our customers complete projects they thought they couldn't do.
