Pros

Before the M&A, people were the best thing about working here. Teams were closenit and operated like a family. You did whatever you could to make things happen for your team members. The commaradarie and support between members was unmatched.

Cons

This was a great place to work. Recently, however, with all the Mergers & Acquisitions some of the newly acquired managers (from different companies) do not embody the White Cap culture that made it a great place to work. Some of these managers only care about their own people--from the company(ies) they came from--to the point of it being super clickish. If you're not one of them, good luck getting assigned to projects with visibility beause, of course, that's reservered for their team members only. Upper management really needs to force the newly acquired managers to stop operating as their former entity and get with the White Cap program or else. If you want to get trained, good luck with that. The most you get will be a LinkedIn Learning subscripition--unless you look a certain way. Then, you'll get to go to conferences and whatever training you want.

Pros

Thought it would be an improvement over Home Depot. I was wrong.

Cons

I am sharing my experience to highlight a clear pattern of severe mismanagement and subsequent retaliation by Home Depot (and later HD Supply). As the first lead driver for their Home Depot Supply operation in Columbus, Ohio, I was forced to navigate a poorly planned system with no local warehouse. I regularly waited up to four hours at a third-party site for product to arrive, yet Streetsboro management immediately scapegoated me when I couldn't finish an 8-hour route in the remaining 4 hours. Because I spoke up about this blatant mismanagement, leadership became deeply hostile and unsupportive. I eventually resigned after three years to stop being their fall guy. Years later, I gave the company another chance under the HD Supply name, hoping things had changed. They hadn't. The operation was a compliance nightmare—no training, no log books, no ELDs; just pressure to hit the highway and 'hope for the best.' I finally walked away for good after a coworker openly made bigoted remarks in the workplace. The ultimate proof of their retaliation came recently: when I reapplied, I was informed that the company had maliciously coded my voluntary resignation as a 'termination' to ensure I was blacklisted. This is a vindictive company that punishes employees who expose their failures.
