Home Depot paid pretty decent during my time there, but in my position there was no way for me to have a set or somewhat consistent schedule, which led to numerous shifts ping-ponging from starting at 5am to 9am, or closing with no real reason. Management was pretty good at my location and seemed to care about the people if you were doing your job right. Not a bad place to work, but not a long term one for me.

Pros

Decent people and pay.

Cons

unpredictable schedule, coverage

Only the strong survive

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - May 2, 2021

At least they cancelled the "fun" "Rewards" breakfast that you had to attend, even if you had to get up at 4 AM.No one could want to be a manager there unless they were starving - mandatory to work all night 2 weeks a year.They will never close due to snow, ice or tornado because that's prime sales time.They expect you to look all over the store for items way up in the air: like gas grills could be in the lumber department and hardware items in plumbing. Night crew will put anything anywhere: your scanner says you have it, but where the H___ IS it?

Pros

Most employees are nice

Cons

Customers think we know how to use these tools! No, we just sell them!

Outstanding Work Enviornment (for my specific store at least)

Building Materials/ Lumber Associate (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - February 4, 2020

My time at Home Depot was short yet fun, we stayed at task and helped the customer with any problems finding products or help with cutting wood, we restocked our portion of the store and when the job was done, there was some leisure time to get to know each co worker, the actual work can be a bit tedious at times but there’s always something to keep you occupied.

Learned a lot, lots of training available

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - May 26, 2019

I enjoyed my job at The Home Depot; however, I found it be rather "political" and cliquish. They did allow me to stay in Hardware, which I am passionate about. As my first management position, I could have used more training.

Pros

Good products, good reputation

Cons

Need more management triaining

Garden Associate (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - April 12, 2018

Everyone looked out for each other and its truly like a family. The job was simple, but you have to know your stuff because everyone treats you like a walking google. You aren't asked which mower you have in stock is better, you are asked how to mow this customers specific lawn that you have never seen.

Pros

good pay, friendly environment, easy work

Cons

dumb customers, one terrible boss

Efficient workplace where you are working on your own unloading merchandise from a pallet in designated aisles.

Freight Team Associate (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - October 13, 2016

Working at Home Depot was a positive work experience for myself. It was hard work that was rewarding. Typically the freight team would start the shift by unloading pallets full of merchandise off of the delivery truck, then designate the merchandise based on the aisles each item goes into. Then we would split up into aisles unloading the merchandise.

The Home Depot is an easy work location. The work is not overly complicated and the staff is also easy to get along with. The job does require a lot of standing and walking. Benefits are available and the company has a support system to aid employees if they should experience severe life challenges. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Home Depot to others, good company.
