The Home Depot Employee Reviews

I’ve been here for almost 4 months now and I have to say, out of all the jobs I’ve had this place has been the healthiest environment for work. People actually enjoy being here, and it makes a world of a difference when that’s the case. As long as you’re being polite and kind to each other, it makes the long days worth something. I actually feel good going to work, some days as for anyone, it can be a drag getting out of bed of course. But once you get into work and chat with co workers and all that, it makes you feel better. Down side as a cashier is it can be pretty boring when it’s slow, dealing with rude customers. Other than that, great place to be!

Worst place to work only work here when you are desperate for money.

Order Picker (Former Employee) - Prince George, BC - 19 August 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Tye only best part is pay nothing elseWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?Dealing with the most toxic work environment. I never imagined i would be affected by the toxic work environment. But seriously it’s frustrating. They just need bunch of yes sir/mam people and even still they are going to find a way to annoy youWhat is the work environment and culture like at the company?TOXIC. They really have the worst managers you will ever meet in the job world. The most backstabbing people you will ever meet. They will smile in front of you make everything seem happy happy. Seriously nothing is happy over there.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Daily stress. You have to wear a mask of a personality who is not you.

Great People

Project Manager (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 27 July 2023

The best thing about the company is the people that work there. Everything else is the same as any other corporation with shareholders . The Senior Leadership Team does a great job of distributing the Orange Kool Aid, and managing their own careers vying for the attention of the VP. It’s disheartening if you have any thoughts of career progression, you won’t find it here unless you’re really thirsty!

Starting as sales associate in The Home Depot is good option. Some days are easy and some days are pretty busy. But overall it is good environment and great team.

Not a great place to work , they screwed me around

Order Picker/Garden Associate (Current Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 16 July 2023

They hired me for an order picker job part time ,then after a month i wasnt given any hours while they kept hiring more people for the department which makes no sense , a full time position came around and since i wasnt getting any hours in department, they screwed me out of the full time position as well. Work here if you enjoy no advancement and no hours

Travailler chez Home Dépôt Gatineau, est comme travailler avec ta famille

Commis d'entrepôt Home Dépôt (Current Employee) - Quebec City, QC - 26 May 2023

Pas assez de flexibilités , pour les temps pleins, même après plus de 15 ans de services. Un Employeur à la Hauteur, avec beaucoup de bénéfices. Je dirais que beaucoup associés ont plus de 15 ans de services à cette entrepôt. Je le recommande vivement. Plusieurs postes dans cette entrepôts. Caissiers(es), Services aux clients plusieurs département, Superviseurs, et beaucoup plus...

Pros

déjeuner faite souvent par nos directeurs. Moi J'apporte beaucoup de desserts fait maison

Cons

ils faudrait plus protéger leurs associés en vers les clients.

Excellent culture and room for advancement

Recruitment Specialist (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 23 May 2023

Great company to work for that provided room for general training and advancement.Hardest part of the job as a recruiter is that the day to day duties are repetitive but you get to talk with a lot of people from a variety of backgrounds both in-store contacts and the applicants

I swear, I tell everyone, when it comes up where I worked, that HD is a great employer!

Hamilton Mountain - Cashier (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 18 May 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?While part-timers do have to work weekends, you can usually book a day off, on a weekend, with plenty of notice (schedules 3 weeks in advance). I found the employees (Stone Church store in Hamilton) great to work with as were the management team!What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Demanding and or angry customers (honestly doesn’t happen very often).What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Friendly, can get very busy at times, as long as you’re doing your job, it’s laid back. What is a typical day like for you at the company?I left 2 years ago (retired from my full-times job) and worked part-time for 3.5 years. I was a cashier (obvious duties), answer questions where items are located in the store, arranged assistance with our Lot Associates to load their purchases, restock chocolates, gum, etc at the checkouts during downtime, etc. once you’re trained as a cashier, it becomes very automatic.

Customer service Department

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - St. Catharines, ON - 7 May 2023

Worked there for 3 months. The staff in my department was good. Pay was great. Long hours in steel toe boots not the most comfortable thing. It was noisy and uncomfortable. Management is lazy.

Pros

Lunch Lobby, Lockers

Cons

Work boots

Good experience

PRO Account Sales Associate (Contractor Services) (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 20 April 2023

I enjoyed my time at the Home Depot. I learned a lot about big retail and learned a lot of construction materials. Patience with customers is key but overall a good experience.
