Pros

They have many classes you complete both on the computer and by attending a class at other stoes specialized in the department you are working in. You do have a good opportunity to grow as a deptartment head, then possibly assistant manager.

Cons

Although you do have an opportunity to advance at Home Depot, you pretty much have to be good buddies with the managers to be able to do so. Most times it's who you know, not how well you perform. When it comes down to your schedule they are not flexible at all. You work when they want you to. I've typically had schedules which I work, Monday 5am - 2pm, Tuesday 12pm - 9pm, Wednesday 5am - 2pm.....and so on. There is no consistency whatsoever.

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.
