      Pros

      Despite it's challenges recently there is a real sense of pride which is being driven by all aspects, and hierarchy, of the business. It's such a great feeling to be part of a business that is pushing forward.

      Cons

      Communication and collaboration can still be a little frustrating. That said, the business is making steps to improve this and it's possible to see the results.

            Pros

            Salary (now being capped but old timers get a decent salary)

            Cons

            Corrupt HR, corrupt senior leadership, you are ruining what could be a good business, how many more brown envelopes are you going to have to give out to cover up your ridiculous leadership

            Advice to Management

            Hire senior leaders and he from the store manager population, stop bringing in people who do not understand the brand or ANY values! And stop covering up your ineptitude with paying off managers who actually have worked their whole career to keep trying to save Homebase!

            I worked at Homebase Limited part-time for more than a year

            Pros

            Working for Homebase was honestly a really nice change of pace as we were kept busy and there was always something new to learn or do.

            Cons

            Store Manager role was not given to any of the internal managers, even though we had some cracking ones. Made the promise of ability to move up in the company seem kind of empty
