HD Supply Employer Reviews

ping pong tables at saddle creek, great employee's, but wrong people in management postion. More yelling than training.

I worked in gardena for a little under 4 years... the job was great bu managment was unfair and the only way to advance there was if u were to suck up to managers not because u worked hard or how uch u knew... the like to use u everyway posible and not pay u for the work... I was a cashier buti was never at the register... I was all over the store covering – more... different departments and when a position opened up in any department I would apply and never get the position but I would be more qualifed then the person that would get the position... no matter how hard u work there if a manger dislikes u on a personal note u are stuck in the same place u start off at... – less

It was fun and productive. You have to work at a quick pace but I see this as a good thing.

H&D was a temp job i had through an agency.They closed and i only worked as a cashier and did their inventory

The people are solid, company is there for its employees. And while a corporation each branch still feels kinda like a mom and pop place.

My work schedule is 8a.m to 4p.m.,unless needed to stay,without complaint, My warehouse manager and I work as a team to get the orders pulled and loaded for my deliveries. We accommodate several customers VIA Will call as well, with the help of our 3 CSR's .We have 4 outside salesman,A branch manager and a ops manager to keep us heading in a profitable – more... direction. I would describe the hardest part of the job as HOT and the most enjoyable part is the driving with the A/C on. – less

I worked for HD Supply for 5 1/2 years; 4 in corporate and 18 months in a line of business (division). The first 4 years were good, department was like family. Very relaxed and upbeat work environment. I moved for opportunity and went into a position that wasn't what was advertised. Found it to be heavily politically influenced and the corporate culture – more... was not consistent from department to department or division to division. I believe that the drive to be as profitable as possible lead by the venture capital owners resulted in a major change in management personnel, philosophy and employee morale. Not a bad place to work, but would be cautious. – less

GREAT ENVIRONMENT TO WORK IN, INITIALLY; EVENTUALLY, MANAGEMENT FLAWS ALLOW YOU TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS NOT CHANCE NOR DESIRE FOR ADVANCE.

This branch is in a highly competitive market with at least 4 other suppliers within 50 miles. The customers appear to have established relationships with most of the other supply houses leaving HD supply with a tough challenge of breaking into the market.

Was just unhappy with the overall daily operation of the company with regard to their treatment of all of the associates. No opportunity for advancement and severe cut in benefits.

Great company and job. All of there promised deliverables to customers after I sold were short of expectation. I was working on a 100% commission job with great potential. Unfortunately the high priced items that I was selling, (roofing, siding) required home improvement loans from potential customers, which in the current housing and business environment – more... are not available. I sat in front of many clients who needed the services but could not qualify for loans.

Management was consciencious and supportive. Training was adequate, but depending on trainers, philosophically in conflict.

Hardest part was closing on high dollar tems, No funds available.

Co workers are always great. I'm a people person so I create a favorable work environment.

I learned a lot of the innerworkings of the building industry, sales, Corporate retail structure.

a typical days work were to generate several sales leads, input them in a sales tracking database and follow up ro a sale. – less

I was the hardest worker in my department for a time and management across the board was too incompetent and the entire department and earnings for the DC suffered. The most mismanaged work environment I have ever seen. I enjoyed working with my co-workers and the job was simple, however management made that job impossible and very demoralizing.

Horrible management team. lousy employer. no advancement

Starting three new profitable divisions from the ground floor was great.
- Building Materials
- Electrical and Industrial
- Plumbing, PDF, MRO and Industrial

Working with Home Depot on special projects taught me a ton of business related knowledge in Purchasing, Marketing and MRO markets.

Great company to work for I was first shift day goes by quick, co-workers are friendly, company treats workers very well. Gives rewards for safety, gives a good bonus and great benefits. I really enjoyed the over time we got.

I worked for 10 different management people in 7 years. By the way I was in mid to upper level management.

delivering supplies to diffrent work sites.I enjoy my co-workers and driving,learning diffrent routes and job sites.

In charge of the branch operations of the store, inventory, purchasing and what comes in and ships out of store. I work with some great guy's who strive to be the best.

The company had a high turnover in my experience... it can be challenging for a short while, but after that it's mostly hard work.... co-workers and the customers make it fun. everything else is just OK.

My typical day was spent communicating over the phone or in person with contractors, vendors and shipping companies. Following up to make sure materials were shipped correctly and on time was paramount to ensure success was achieved. I learned to work autonomously and efficiently within a team structure to meet goals.
Management was involved very little – more... as I worked closely with an outside salesman to manage our many accounts. My coworkers consisted of two gentlemen in the warehouse, an administrative assistant, four estimators, an outside salesman and a buyer. We all worked closely together as a team. The most challenging piece was coordinating with my contractors to ensure materials were onsite when they needed to be. I enjoyed the comradery with my team and contractors the most. – less
