      Decent place to work.

      Pros

      If you enjoy solving problems HD customers will provide an endless supply of them: some challenging and some easy fixes.

      Cons

      Once you hit Department Supervisor there is no clear cut path to the next level. If there is, none of the salaried management shares it. The process of getting promoted from DH to ASM is a mystery. Also, here's how the promotion would go in my case: Right now I earn $15 an hour and work 40 hour weeks. $32,000 a year. ASM's make $50,000 a year but work 55 hour weeks. For me that wouldn't really be a raise, it would just give me the Privilege of working 15 hours of overtime each week.

      Idiots on mgmt. parade

      Pros

      Customers that truly need help. When someone truly needs advice and i'm able to help them out, it makes the job seem worthwhile. Listening to over monied men and women complain that no one listens to their idiotic needs is depressing at best.

      Cons

      Idiots in management and smarmy district manager

      Not a Bad place to work, but I don't want to live there.

      Pros

      The people that I work with and most of the customers that I assist daily are a couple of the best reasons to work for the home depot. While some of the employees are hopelessly disgruntled, most are happy and a joy to work with. Same with the customers. Some will come in unhappy and looking for a fight, but most are happy and a joy to assist. If you are flexible with your availability and enjoy working with and helping a lot of good people, then this is the place for you.

      Cons

      The motto of the company should be "doing more with less". I have seen this trend increase over the years and it has certainly been the norm in this economy. Be ready to work hard, covering multiple areas, serving multiple customers, while getting minimal recognition. If you are an above average employee, be prepared to have most of the work passed on to you to make up for the average or below average employees. Also be prepared for members of management that may not know as much as you.
