Pros
Fun, Friendly Atmosphere. It keeps me active and busy and I am not sitting behind a desk all day long. I enjoy the volunteer programs that Home Depot is involved with. There are all kinds of groups and committees that you can join. Outstanding feedback on issues that employees are having, mostly through "town hall" meetings, where associates can say what is good and bad about their store. It is a job where I can use my degree as an Interior Designer, and gain experience for the future, and I get paid better than I would starting out at any other job straight out of college.
Cons
Sometimes I feel that the store is unorganized. There will be merchandise on pallets in odd places, and unlike other retail stores there are no "self-check" services and there is no way to find an items location easily. I feel like some of the services that we offer are not described enough to the associates. It is definantly a place where if you want to learn the information, beyond the classes they teach you, then you are on your own.
