Sad Times in Winnipeg for THE HOME DEPOT!!!!

Sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Only work here if you have no choice..... this would be the last place I would look to start a career.

Cons

They seem to promote the lap-dogs to management. Also prepare to have no life at all. They will not let you change your availability for anything..... This place kinda reminds my of 'lord of the flies' or 'Animal Farm'. The only thing THD has going for them is the name...... but that is almost gone. Can't wait for Lowe's to kick there asses!

Pros

As an Associate it can be a fun place. Even as a part timer the pay is pretty good and the benfits are excellent

Cons

As a Department Manager they bury you with paperwork and won't let you manage.

Hey, it's a paycheck.

Business Outlook

Pros

It's easy work, and (most of the time) easy to get. This may be due to the company's high turnover rate, however.

Cons

The stores and management are disorganized, cashiers have to put up with a lot of abuse from customers. The communication system in the store where I worked was ineffective. They used walkie-talkies, but only the floor staff were allowed to use them, not the cashiers. If there was an item brought up to the cash register that did not have a bar code or SKU number, the cashiers had to rely on the register phones to contact the floor staff to find the price of the item. The floor staff rarely answered their phones.
