Good Place to Work but pay is undesireable and needs serious attention

Cashier

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Home Depot becomes a family. Most employees don't mind coming to work as you make so many common friends here. The work isn't difficult and they provide great online classes for each job function you assess for. Most everyone is friendly and tries to be of help to their associates. The closeness we share amongst ourselves makes it feel homey at times and easy to come to work. They do allow for internal promotions and encourage it.

Cons

The biggest con is the salary. If your looking to be self-supporting, you need to find another career...unless you're moving toward management positions.

Most political company I've ever worked for?

Talent management/acquisition

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits - stock options included Competitive salary based on the industry/market Lucrative quarterly bonuses Casual work environment Somewhat flexible schedule

Cons

Talent Management/Acquisition within Home Depot is very politically driven. Your success and upward mobility is based on who likes you within the organization not the work you do. Upper management lacks strategic vision, strong leadership capabilities, the ability to build and motivate teams, ability to grow and develop teams, fairness and the ability to make sound decisions. There is a lack of work/life balance within the organization. Employees are overworked and under appreciated. Responding to emails and working after 8PM is normal and somewhat expected. There is also a lack of respect for employees who are not Sr. Manager level or above. If you're good at playing the "Blame Game" and "Being Thrown Under The Bus" constantly doesn't bother you, then this is the right organization for you to work for.
