Pros

The primary reason to work for Home Depot lies in it's name and the fact that it is one of the industry leaders.

Cons

Actually, Home Depot has great potential to be an employer of choice. However, it's weakness lie in the fact that it is top heavy. There are no real opportunities for extremely qualified associates to advance. Many end of leaving and accepting leadership positions at their new companies.

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.
