      Pros

      flexability for a second job, although you need to remember that this is a big,big, corporation unless you bleed orange you will not go very far. over staffing is usally not a problem in fact we call it thin thursday lol. also i do not think that it is a good fulltime job unless you like being broke. sadly promotions suck and you never get a job well done just push harder, emploees are un happy and it shows

      Cons

      throwing away perfectly good items, ifyou like adding to land fills this is your job, enviromently friendly haha i dont think so.

      Pros

      Job responsibility diversity - from customer service to stocking, there are opportunities to switch positions and expected roles if you get bored of your current position.

      Cons

      Whipping paperwork and feeding the ego of current management can quickly get the wrong type of people on the fast track to promotion. If you decide to work hard and stay in your current position, you will be rewarded with the responsibility of completing your peers' tasks on top of your own.

      Pros

      Home Depot has a lot to offer: Job stability, excellent health benefits, a very competitive 401k plan as well as the opportunity to purchase stocks at a discount. In addition, Home Depot pay is extremely competitive from hourly wages to salary for management. There is a tremendous opportunity for growth and advancement: a part-time lot associate can work their way up the ladder to executive management with hard work and dedication. Home Depot fosters a sense of family within its stores, and has developed a strong culture of taking care of its people. Home Depot is also very active in the community, contributing to charitable organizations in their community as well as partnering with companies like Habitat for Humanity and Kaboom.

      Cons

      Long hours, especially in salaried positions. It is not uncommon to put in 60-80 hours per week as an Assistant Manager. Rotating hours can also make it extremely difficult to maintain a work/life balance. Communication is always a struggle, and while Home Depot has made strides in improving and streamlining communication, they still have a long way to go. Home Depot also leans very heavily on their salaried managers to complete tasks in the building. If you are short handed, it's up to you to get the job done. Be prepared for a lot of physical labor. Fully expect that things change DAILY: One day you may be responsible for one set of tasks or metrics, and the next day your focus changes again.
