Competitive
Cashier (Current Employee) – Mansfield, MA – September 23, 2018
Management needs to communicate better between themselves. There is favoritism. If you aren't a superstar credit card getter you get treated differently. Slow periods where some employees get hours cut while others are getting more. Long periods of time when you're just standing there on a cement floor.
Pros
Holidays they do small free food settings.
Cons
Favoritism, long periods of standing on cement, I now have plantars fasciitis, lower back pain, and knee pain.
Basic work environment
Cashier (Current Employee) – Biloxi, MS – September 23, 2018
Home Depot is a great job however it has bad points too because some of the employees are lazy and I end up picking up their slack. I am the Kid's Workshop Captain so I work with the children who come into the store plus I hold the lead for the most Credit Cards obtain in our district so I work very hard to achieve high standards for myself.
Pros
It is a good company over all to work for.
Cons
Some of the cashiers tend to take longer breaks which interferes with every one else's break time
Productive and fun workplace w a ping pong table
Cashier (Former Employee) – Hialeah Gardens, FL – September 23, 2018
Most annoying part was definitely the customers but management was friendly and the workplace was pretty laid back. Wasnt a hard job and I learned better communication skills
bad place to work for a woman
Garden Center Associate (Former Employee) – Grand Junction, CO – September 23, 2018
They expect you to do your job without any disagreement on what they are doing. Sometimes things were pretty bad, especially if you are single. If you get hurt they expect you to work, even if you are in pain
Pros
none
Cons
none

Nice place to learn
Kitchen Designer (Former Employee) – Annandale, VA – September 23, 2018
Very good training facilities, Good coordination among various disciplines. Independence of work welcomed for designers. A good thing is not worrying for the clientele, as customers walk in - many times without appointments
Pros
Training
Cons
Store management changes so often.
Lacking
Night Stocker (Former Employee) – Burleson, TX – September 23, 2018
Not enough pay and no overtime or advancement. The schedule was set and never changed. I had to change to night stocker just to work a full 40 hours. The pay still was lacking.
Pros
Home a lot
Cons
work with good people
Productive and fun workplace.

Great Management = Great Work Environment
Vault Associate (Current Employee) – Grand Rapids, MI – September 23, 2018
If you get a great management team, the job is great. But if you don’t a decent management team then the job is not great. The company values are great and very respectful of their employees
Productive place to work in
Frieght Worker (Former Employee) – Dartmouth, MA – September 23, 2018
the management between stores is not always what it should be, and as a result, an associate can loose his/her livelihood. I am saddened that that is all I have to say.
Pros
associates are usually easy to get along with
Cons
management has room for improvement
Busy and clustered place
Front Desk Associate, Customers service (Former Employee) – Silver Spring, MD – September 23, 2018
Customers were rude and always needed a discount based on managers being sweet. Orders were always messed up by quantity or actual product. Delivered weren’t made on time as well as appointments for consultations were. never made. Hours were cut randomly and you’ll be at the desk working 4 hours alone working two different departments.
Pros
Cookout and fundraising’s
Cons
Hours supervisors and managers
It's all about Money doing more with Less trying to be like Amazon
Department Supervisor (Former Employee) – Florida – September 23, 2018
We never had enough help on the floor everything is about doing more with less. The company is trying to compete with Amazon and trying to drive more business on line and its taking a toll on the associates they are always being yelled at by customers because the orders are not pulled and ready when promised because of lack of help to pull the orders. Management demands more and fails to recognize the associates for their hard work. Taking care of the associates is a thing of the past it's all about hours and doing more with less.
Pros
Eye Med plan
Cons
Not enough help
Nice Place to Work
Merchandising Execution Associate (Former Employee) – Washington, DC – September 23, 2018
A large company so they offer pretty good benefits. There is definitely room for growth because they usually hire management from within. Hard work doesn't go unrecognized.
Excellent
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Ogden, UT – September 23, 2018
Perfect place to work, I loved the environment, co workers were very friendly, bosses very understanding and quarterly bonus were always welcome, always overtime availability.
Pros
Free coffee
It's Retail
Customer Service Lead (Current Employee) – Fort Collins, CO – September 22, 2018
Standard customer service retail experience. The customer's are the worst and management can be difficult sometimes. If you're good at your job and you know what you're doing, it will be a great place to work. The hours are flexible and depending on management, they are almost always able to work with your schedule (within reason).
Pros
Benefits after 30 days
Cons
It's retail and all retail sucks
Great place to work.
ORDER FULLFILLMENT ASSOCIATE (Former Employee) – Napa, CA – September 22, 2018
The Home Depot is a great place to work, part-time or full-time. There are many opportunities for growth in the store. And it is also a great place to meet people. The store is always busy and never dull. The most enjoyable part is helping the customers find what they're looking for and advising them on home improvements. Management is very supportive of their crew. Associates help each other even if they're from other sections. Associates get training for operating lift trucks, which is cool. Overall, it's a fun place in which to work.
Pros
Training for operating lift trucks is provided.
Cons
Moving heavy items like cement or lumber by hand can be very taxing.
semi fast paced place to work but overall fun
Cashier/Sales Associate (Current Employee) – O'Fallon, IL – September 22, 2018
the regular customers and staff always keeps the day going by fast, meaning there's always someone to talk to. employees and management are nice and very knowledgeable about the store.
Easy going workflow and fun workplace
Merchandising Execution Team Associate (Former Employee) – Glendora, CA – September 22, 2018
Typical work day started at 5:00 A.M. and end at 1:30 P.M., during the day one would either service bays in the aisles, do projects, or assist customers with any questions they had. I learned customer service skills, how to meet customer's needs and how to manage time properly to ensure a task is done on time. Management of the store itself was done well, but the supervisor of my team specifically could have better, they took matters very personal and would take it out on those who opposed them. The workplace culture was very good, no one ever truly hated working there, but the hardest part of the job was having to ensure a project or task gets done when it is coming close to the end of the shift and customers stop you to ask you questions, customers come first of course so the task must wait but will still need to be done before you leave. That was overshadowed though by everyone that worked there, everyone got along and always had good attitudes, that was the most enjoyable part of the job.
Fun, low stress enviroment
Freight Team Associate (Current Employee) – Strongsville, OH – September 22, 2018
Overnight freight team is a stress free environment. The most difficult aspect to the job is the moving of big, bulky, and heavy products. Most fellow associates are friendly.
