I had the pleasure of engaging with this company recently, and I must say, they exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, their commitment to providing exceptional service was evident.

Great place to work at

Home depot's contact centres are great. Good wage to make the ends meet. Management is very supportive and always there to help. Would have not left if it wasn't for moving cities.

Stressful and toxic

Under staffed but over managed. Managers are not available and there are too many of them. Expert staff are not appreciated even when there is a line up to talk to them. Customers blame the floor staff for lack of available employees. My first day of training they left me in charge of three departments because staff called in sick, while my manager sat in office doing training binders for his promotion. The inventory system is a joke too. People driving from another town for things the computer says they have, but don't. I vocalized issues and got fired soon after. Good riddance.

Good job to transition to a better one

Fellow staff members great, though best to keep head down and just work. Honestly felt great at first, then a manager got somewhat grumpy and uncaring to people below her. It made it worse trying to resolve it with higher up. Honestly good job if your willing to just be quiet and listen to the rules(that seemed to change every week).

Pros

Kind

Cons

Not honest at the first meeting and greet. Not as open environment as they claim, Also Homer pantry is hardly filled.

Not worth applying.

Doesn't matter if you have the right experience or proper training they only hire the favorites for the positions. Find better work somewhere else family members and close friends only get hired.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Management/ hiring management

Great until you get sick

What is the best part of working at the company?Amazing to work for until you have a mental health problem some senior Hr managers and or direct supervisors are not compassionate or understanding towards your challenges or health problems and feels like they just want to manage you out after 20 plus years of high level performance. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Getting sick and your direct supervisor and senior Hr seem like they don’t care What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Awesome until you get sick with mental health

Understaffed

They don’t schedule enough staff to be on the floor. Non-stop busy. Employees gossip about each other like crazy. Walking all day on concrete with work boots can be annoyingly painful.

Garden Sales Associate & Cashier

I worked on a temporary 3-month contract as a Garden Sales Associate and then as a part time Cashier for a few months. As a garden sales associate, there were times when the work was hard, even though I enjoyed working in the greenhouse. You would have to be comfortable lifting weights. There were more diverse tasks that I had to perform as a garden sales associate compared to the job as a cashier. The major problem I had was with the management and workplace culture. I think the management could have stepped up in their training and in being more approachable. Another problem I faced was unfriendly coworkers. There were a few coworkers who were really rude and borderline disrespectful. I do not know the reason but it could have been me being a new employee or maybe because I am a person of colour. However, there were also some coworkers who were really friendly and helpful. So it depends on the specific store and how the workplace there is.
