      Opportunity for advancement and management experience if you like retail.

      Pros

      Opportunity for advancement if you are interested. Management is willing to give advancement opportunities if you show interest in doing so. You can gain a lot of knowledge by being cross trained in multiple departments and asking questions to ensure you understand the products. Good paying company for the retail industry.

      Cons

      Retail schedule. Holidays, weekends, nights, lack of regular schedule. Hard to plan activities on weekends with family and friends with a retail work schedule. The company is very numbers driven since it is so large. Can be a good motivator and also a de-motivator if your store is not doing so well.

      Pros

      People are always coming to Home Depot (especially contractors). You really get to know alot of good people, maybe get some connections when you need a contractor, as well as learning a lot of new stuff about home improvement. Everyone is really nice, and you will always get a lot of friends, whether from other employees or customers. I have only been working at Home Depot for a couple of months, and I know everyone in my store (even night crew). Not only are those things great, but other things such as discounts (T-Mobile), and benefits. The Home Depot has a lot of benefits that can help anyone.

      Cons

      Some customers are just plain rude.

      Excellent environment for technical IT (infrastructure) careers

      Lead systems engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For IT, it's harder to find a broader environment (2200+ retail locations, each of which is managed centrally). Lots of new exciting technology, and some of the smartest IT people around. Even with a tough economy, there is a lot of revenue coming in, and competent projects that clearly present a measurable improvement to the business are always seriously considered by senior management.

      Cons

      Processes are not very mature. Lots of ad-hoc activity and long hours due to inefficient processes. Some of the different IT groups have a siege mentality and strive to protect their turf, at the cost of innovation.
