Pros

Easy job, low pressure, great benefits, you can't get fired unless you steal, pretty good people work there.

Cons

ok you will always have the slackers who don't want to do anything but draw a paycheck, so you'll have to take on their share of the work. Pay isn't really fair and raises are really bad. Make sure you go to the store find out how much people make before you agree to an hourly wage, because once it is set, no matter how good you are you will never get a decent raise. Example, a 17 hour sales associates came in slept everyday and never met his quota, me a $12.00 an hour associate out sold every associate even those making 20.00 an hour and I never got compensated for it. But I agreed to for the pay so I just did it. I still liked my job.

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.
