Pros

I have worked at several other retail companies and Home Depot has been the first one that has made me feel value added. They really take the time to do things right the first time instead of the normal rush that I find at other companies. They give lots of recognition. You can go into any Home Depot and find just about every associate has some sort of badge on their apron. They also have excellent training that will give you the confidence to do your best.

Cons

You have to keep in mind it is a wherehouse so they all are extremely dusty.

Pros

The Home Depot has a solid moral compass. They aren't about sacrificing their ethics for the sake of a sale, which I love. They also hire a diverse group of people and give a lot back to the community. They offer a lot of benefits and little treats for their employees. Although they push their associates to meet quota, they're realistic about what can and can't be accomplished.

Cons

Home Depot has two different sides to it. Store associates and those of us considered "store support" who are payed by the vendors but work in the stores 100% of the time. I constantly hear about how store associates are stressed out by management and their hours are being rearranged a lot, cut, and they often are stretched thin due to lack of full staffing. "Store support" associates who do merchandising have it better than those who work in specific departments. However, you never really gain knowledge unless you have the time to look things up and read packaging.
