      "too many Chiefs and not enough Indians"

      Pros

      A great support group of associates when experiencing stress on the job. And some stand-out, but few, amazing supervisors.

      Cons

      It is agreed among associates at the Home Depot Canada that there are "too many Chiefs and not enough Indians". They do not have the bodies to fill the sales floor and provide customers with the satisfaction they seek and have seen in popular media advertising. Instead, the many on duty managers and supervisors are too preoccupied by their store phones and blackberries to ease the congestion of customer dissatisfaction.

      Home Depot - what was and could be again sure doesn't look like it now

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Home Depot is a big company. As a result, there are plenty of things to learn and people to learn from. There are a good number of employees who have been around 15 plus years and saw the "glory" years of what home depot was and possibly could be again. Those people are great to learn retailing from and talk to about how a company on its way up operates. Recently, Home Depot has been trying harder to hire well.

      Cons

      Bob Nardelli all but ruined the company. Frank Blake (the new CEO of about a year and a half) is doing his best to undo all the morale killing that was done under the Nardelli regime. The company is hopelessly behind in IT systems which make it that much harder to keep up with Lowes and other competitors. The frustration dealing with these systems is enough to drive you insane. As a result, everyone is expected to work their ass off just to overcome how behind everything is.
