Pros

Flexible schedule, good working environment, opp. for advancement, great if you are a people person. There are allot of perks that come with working for them, like events, employee parties, KABOOM! projects. And if you want to learn how to do stuff, thats the place to work, i learn something new about home improvement every day, and if you have a problem the employees and manegment really come together to help out someone in need.

Cons

You may work in a small local store, dealing with a small community, but in the end you work for a corporate giant, full of number crunchers, bean counters, and penny pinchers. Though i suppose it's worse in other places, the place still has a good vibe about it, unless you've been screwed by them( which there have been many).

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.
