Pros

The best reasons to work for home depot now is for the strong and dedicated few who want the company to grow past its expectations. With the market at a slum home depot is now more focused on there customers and engaging there customers and solving customers problems. Six years ago when i started at this home depot they had a similar focus but over time had lost there way. The stocks are at there lowest now and if the pull through then there stocks should raise sufficiently.

Cons

They focus on the problem in the now and easily forget about preventing the problem for the future. Reacting instead of preventing so in other words they let a problem happen time and time again before they take action to prevent it and sometimes years go by. The assist managers have the know how and the capability to improve the store but they chose to do only what they are told.

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.
