How can a company this big be so bad?

Sales representative

Pros

None I can think of but if you must work there know that it pays to be just as dumb as the rest of the crew.,

Cons

Everything is a downside the training is just a big rah-rah on how great HD is and how big they are and how every other hardware company sucks.

just a place to work, not a place to move up

Specialty sales associate

Business Outlook

Pros

The best reason to work at Home depot is its relaxed enviroment and friendly co-workers. Besides those two things, it's just a job where you go in, work and go home. It's very hard to get raises and move up to a higher position. They tell you during orientation that what ever you put into the compnay, you will get in return. That is not true because you can be working there for 5-6 years and only get a few dollars in total raise.

Cons

It's very hard to get raises and also hard to go up the management ladder. I feel that it's just a place to work unless you start off at a management level position.
