Pros

Home Depot is a good place to work because of the comprehensive benefits package. For manager level positions and up you receive stock grants, bonus opportunities, and yearly increases. The company is good about doing periodic reviews of salary to make sure people are paid at the market average.

Cons

Home Depot can be a stressful place to work. With the economy in a down cycle, especially in the housing industry, associates are being asked to do more with less. This is to be expected and can be rewarding when the economy finally turns around, but in the short term it can make life difficult. At times upper management can be in a constant state of stress which can trickle down.

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.
