Pros
Home Depot can be an excellent place for salaried management - with the right team to work with. There is career growth and opportunity to take on additional projects, and great leadership training. The volunteer organization, Team Depot, is actively involved with the community, and that makes one proud to be associated with THD. Salaries are good, particularly when you are "education light" in your field, and the benefits package is the best in retail. With a few exceptions, the Core Values set by the founders 28 years ago are alive and well.
Cons
Extremely long hours and an overwhelming list of responsibilities is the norm in the Mid-Atlantic. Opportunity to express concerns above a certain level is completely dependent on the individuals one works directly with. Using vacation time can be difficult, and the 55+ hour requirement can be a strain on family life (particularly with a rotating schedule and the necessity to work many weekends and holidays)
