      Pros

      its close to home, they are flexible to my family needs, offers a good benefit package to full time employees.

      Cons

      corp. B.S. they try to run a co. with too little people available to help the customers and its frustrating. Don't pay cashiers enough for what they have to put up with.

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

      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.

      Home Depot...just a job, not a career.

      Pros

      Home Depot is a job, not a career. The best reason to work there is to get lost in the shuffle and blindly collect a paycheck for a couple of years. If you keep your mouth shut, show up on time and do just enough to not get fired, you can easily ride out the boredom and frustration for 10 check collecting years (if that's what you're looking for). Also, if you have little to no job experience, Home Depot is a place where you can slide into an entry level position, bust your hump and maybe become a manager after 5-6 years of ladder climbing.

      Cons

      The pay is LOUSY. Negotiate high when they hire you because your raises will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-35 cents a year (if you're one of the lucky ones...not kidding). The management is clueless and most seem to have the "you should be lucky just to have a job" type of attitude. There are no set schedules and the schedule coverage is spotty at best. There will be many times when you are the only employee around for 300 feet in all directions.
