Pros

They have many classes you complete both on the computer and by attending a class at other stoes specialized in the department you are working in. You do have a good opportunity to grow as a deptartment head, then possibly assistant manager.

Cons

Although you do have an opportunity to advance at Home Depot, you pretty much have to be good buddies with the managers to be able to do so. Most times it's who you know, not how well you perform. When it comes down to your schedule they are not flexible at all. You work when they want you to. I've typically had schedules which I work, Monday 5am - 2pm, Tuesday 12pm - 9pm, Wednesday 5am - 2pm.....and so on. There is no consistency whatsoever.

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.
