Home Depot Employer Reviews

The Company itself is great but management is lazy and corrupted

Home Depot is a place with great opportunites and always room to grow if I could get employed yet again I'd hop on the oppurtunity ASAP.

This company made it feel like a second home for the employees working there. The hours were great and they worked with you if you had a schedule conflict. Very family based and we took care of each other. It was a second family!!

Depending on the store the job might be better or worse, I have learned that communication is key to a good work environment and my store lacks that. Management doesn't communicate with each other or to the employees. They seem to spontaneously make new rules and procedural changes. These seem impossible to know until you come into a situation when – more...  you need to know of them and then find out everything changed weeks ago. The lack of positive feed back is also stressful. Unless you are on managements good side, you will never get anywhere in the company. Hardest part is not being provided the amount of training you need to work in certain areas of the store, and there never seems to be enough staff working; the turnover rate is also very high at my store, so there is no point to learning peoples names. The most enjoyable part is when you actually help a customer and they are happy someone took the time to listen to them and really help them. Also the people i work with (not management) are awesome for the most part. As stated before, the turnover is high so there are not many of us that have worked there for over 3 yrs.
Case in point - a customer wants to talk to management and they will never even leave their office, they will just use you as a walkie-talkie go between to communicate with an upset customer without ever having to get up off their rearend. Happens 5+ times a day to me everyday with all management personnel. I am glad they are being paid 3-4x as much as me to not move. – less

Enjoyable job. Managers and co-workers are easy to get along with. I enjoyed traveling and helping with grand openings. Good pay and hours.

Point blank worst job ever I have ever worked at in my entire life....no comment no more to say.Apply at your own risk.

constant work learned SAP computer system there and flex hours

Alot of cleaning and planogram integrity that is often changed by department heads that do not understand what merchandisers do

To provide good customer service and make sure a customer gets what they need.

A typical day at The Home Depot required me to clock in, work, lunch, and back to work. I really didnt enjoy working there because they made me feel out of place and not like one of the employees. In other words they were discriminative towards me.

must really have the drive to do the job. You get a lot of benefits and the pay is pretty good, but you can only see good money once to excel in the company

Great atmosphere. Very kind customers and employers. Employees care about their customers providing them with answers to any question they might have.

I had a great time working with Home Depot. The people were really nice, and I feel like I learned a lot by working there, ranging from product knowledge to life values. I had a problem with one of the workers at my store, but it was carefully noted by my manager and overall taken care of.

There were some what stressfull days at work. When I worked I enjoyed alot of the people that came into buy items. I enjoyed talking and getting to know them. The stress came from my frontend management. There were times that I felt if I did something wrong that I would know longer be working from them cus some of the management. I enjoyed working with – more...  my co-workers as well with the asst manager. There were some people that I did not enjoy working with and they could have been replaced buy some one better. The hardest part of my job was having to stand on my feet when there were nobody around and not be able to sit down. The other hardest part was leaving what friends that I made there. I also have learned from the company to be able to deal with stress but never allowe anything to get in my way. If I want something go out and get it. – less

a typical day does not exist every day is a adventure something to be learned, i learned customer service and the management wwas excellent. My coworkers were like a family many i retain friendship even now. The hardest art of the job was the hours early morning to late nights. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people,.
