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

You can work at the Hope Depot if your in between jobs or your retired and you just want to get out of the house. If youwant to pass on your skill from contracting and again, retired, than go work there because Management targets these age groups as they know retirees arent looking to cause trouble, there not looking to advance or go out of there way to make Management 'work", if your in between jobs, again your targeted, because they know your not gonna do the same thing, Management would be ideal place to get into with Home Depot if you dont have any integrity or self values. FYI I am not a disgruntled employee my feedback is truly professional as i have already moved on to better things.

Cons

Downsides.. one word sums it up, Management. As 100 words are required for me to put into here, I will elaborate, If you are sick for two or more days, you HAVE to have a Doctors note indicating why, If you have kids and they get sick. 4 days is not enough. What you have a Personal Life? What? You want to go on Vacation? Oh alright after two years you can get two weeks Vacation. What? Your a private person? What you dont like people seeing your earned time off? to bad as its a daily report left in the break room, (which by the way is open for anyone to get into) typing in your SSN to punch in? Need I say more?
