Pros
I have met alot of great people working at the Home Depot. I have also learned alot about working with people that I dont like and staying under the radar when things get too political. For the most part I have been lucky with the store managers that I have had. I have been able to raise my family, taking time off when needed without any problems. Only one store manager did not keep his word out of the 17 that I have had. I think thats a pretty good number. Working for Home Depot has been, for the most part, a good thing for me and my family
Cons
politics and personalities and no checks and balances. One person can make your life hell and if that person is in good with a higher up, your done until they get promoted from kissing butt. Town Halls crack me up because no one is ever honest in them. The review process of having round tables are really stupid because, for example,how is the recieving supervisor supposed to comment on a cashier performance when that supervisor basically stays in the back and the cashier is in the front. There should only be the dept head, asm and maybe store manager involved in an associate review all the other comments are needless and a waste of time.
