Pros

It has possibilities. They just need to listen more.

Cons

Needs to listen more and not rely on "stats" as the gospel. Inventory under the automated replenishment program always makes the store look like they do not have inventory. The turn around time to get stock is too long. Older women are ignored as second class. Most recently the medical benefits have risen 33% over last year and wages have only been 2-3% increase.

Pros

the store is close to home, i started with the hope of becoming a full time employee and to work for a company that cared about people and their families. For the most part that seemed to be true when i first started working for home depot, people were friendly and caring. the possiblities for advancement i was told were endless and that with a little training and time i could find personal growth with home depot.

Cons

the training program was very brief and management did not effectively communicate goals and opportunities for advancement with me and other employees. hours were cut which caused me to find another job

Pros

None, except it IS a job.

Cons

- Lack of store management respect for individual associates. ("What could you possibily do to help me? Nothing!" "I am not here to make your job any easier." "Associates are simply here to do whatever we tell 'em to do." "This is MY store, not yours." NOTE: These are actual quotes from my store manager.) - Store management expects you to work long hours but will not pay you overtime. (You must cut your overtime hours before week's end.) - Poor leadership. (This will vary from store to store.) - Terrible downward communications from management to associates. (Also varies from store to store.)
