The Home Depot

When I applied for a job at THD I never thought I was going to be a cashier, but I had a great experience, learned a lot and enjoyed my time there. I made great friends and was always congratulated by my superiors. i even won an award as a Homer employee 3 months after I started working. Unfortunately, I had to leave for medical reasons, but if I could, I would love to go back.

great place to work friendly atmosphere employees very helpful like work hours like working nights quickly advancement

I was reaching out for support helping my friend and their family when their house caught on fire and they were reaching out for builders and everything and everyone to help get a home back togethwr

When I began at THD 2.5 yrs ago, I had just gotten terminated from EVS at St. Tammany Hospital for reasons I won’t disclose, but it was political garbage. Ironically the HR lady told me that she believes that when one door closes, another opens for better opportunities, this coming just before Christmas of 2023! It wasn’t a month and I had the job at THD as a Garden Associate. I absolutely love the coworkers, the store location, and my position. At my particular store 0358, the managers truly express their humanity when it comes to the hardships of life in general, such as my husband having terminal cancer, physically not able to do much any more, and have had to miss work due to caring for him when he wants no one else around. He says I give him security. My managers and supervisors give me security in keeping my position with THD when they express their humanity towards me. In this world today, there’s so much selfishness and evil, I’m grateful for my team at THD.

When I originally started there I was a lumber associate, everything was well and I kept the area organized as well as clean. Months down the line I got a “promotion” to do order fulfillment and from there everything went bad and I got fired. The communication isn’t the greatest so you don’t really know you’re doing anything wrong until well, you’re fired. And in those office talks, management is actually pretty rude.

I enjoyed several several sales positions at THD including working with Pro’s to solve their issues and be meet their needs.

Very rude managers and very rude manager and also they are raices.The managers dont help out the associates and always hiding in the back room instead of being in the store helping out the associate.

Always left in a department alone. Asked to cut overtime on lunch breaks. Too many Chiefs not enough Indians.

A working environment that allows you to perform without being under pressure. Encourages you to experiment with better performance methods and to feel a satisfaction in your work accomplishments. Supportive of your goals and how you may achieve them. An overall happy environment

At home Depot you get 2 vacations a yr. Sick time..2 success sharing checks a yr which mine were $900 in September 800 March...they do alot more good place to work for

I loved working there, plan to return soon. It's a great opportunity for students to work and go to school. Home Depot has college reimbursements, along with benefits for part time. Highly recommended.

Working here at The Home Depot was the best decision I have ever made. The home depot believes that all of their employees by giving Providing them with the necessary tools to succeed and grow in this ever so rapid industry.

Great place to learn any and everything about plants lumber home good i had a stressful day which i had a melted down. But my body was breaking down due to car wreck.

Task-oriented management, looking for goal achievement. Excellent training for all positions. Great work culture, but restrictive on upward mobility. Above average pay for entry levels in the retail industry.

Home Depot is an inclusive workplace with all sorts of employees. They are dedicated to giving every employee the tools they need to succeed, with most of the managers I've known having been promoted from regular associates. As an essential retailer the company took really good care of us during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, too; they gave us extra paid sick time, let anyone take a leave of absence if they preferred to stay at home, and made it easy for us to stay masked up and keep social distance. They encourage employees to acknowledge when their co-workers go above and beyond, which can pay off in monetary awards. They also have a charity fund for employees in need, and a matching gift program for donations to other non-profits. And they regularly send teams to work with Habitat for Humanity, so they do care about their local communities. As long as you follow your schedule there's no limit to how far you can go within the company.

Lies all throughout the company, favoritism. Racism. They do not know how to care for they’re associates. Don’t let Success sharing fool you, only the managers get the huge chunk of it, while we on the other hand get maybe 30-50$.

i started working overnight and within a few months got promoter to train new associate elso there were free lunch monthtly

I worked for this place while a full time student. I learned a lot from a lot of people. It was just too far for me to drive or the pay rate.

I worked there for a high school job, it was nice starting out but later, the employees began to find out how unfairly paid they were compared to others. We don’t get any overtime, we can’t pick up extra shifts if we’ve been scheduled for 5 days that week, it’s hard to move up, and the sick leave is so minute that it’s almost completely irrelevant. Vacation as well takes long to get.

The Home Depot prides itself on putting customer satisfaction first, and this all starts with the associate's and the ability and willingness to guarantee that all the customers needs are met in a timely fashion. The best way to do this is by knowing where product is located in the store, whether product is on shelf or off shelf, how many on-hands of said product is in store or on order. One main goal of an associate is to get to know and understand the customers needs and to also have a great understanding and knowledge of the products the customer is looking for. It always helps to smile and be as friendly and courteous as possible so that the customer will have the best shopping experience possible. I definitely recommend the Home Depot to job seekers, the experience is fun and rewarding.

I was one of four assistant store manager at the Key West Home Depot. Once the economy started to crash in 2008 Home Depot decided to just get rid of anybody that didn’t make them money. This company is horrible. They only care about profits they don’t care about people if you shop at a Home Depot you know no one is going to help you you’re on your own there Associates will run away from you if they think you might need help

Co-workers are easy to get along with, even in different departments. But, of course you have those co workers who spread rumors about others. Some of the manager or most, aren’t good at their job and most of the time people do not like them. Customers are disrespectful to the workers and we can’t do anything about that because of our policy.

Not sure about the current company. The company has had a great deal of ups and downs. Was a great company when Bernie and Arthur ran the company. It went down with the next CEO (deliberately unnamed), started to improve with Blake. Now unsure. 21 years working for this company with too many to count positions both hourly and Salary. It has/had top notch opportunities for growth, however, now I think the HR structure is a challenge for employees (Red tape).

The Home Depot like to challenge employees by offering challenges to everyone who wants to grow a career with a Top Fortune Company!

Dont have onethank you..............,............... .. . . .. ......................,...............

They need more people to work in the paint department it’s always busy with paint when it’s just two people in the morning

Started there with hopes to be able to work and still take care of my father. they worked with me and assisted me beyond my imagination in taking care of my father. When I expressed my ideas for bettering the tool rental the ideas were run with making me feel like my ideas were important.

I am Muslim and kind of culture this company has you feel like home. People are very cooperative and respect your believe and allow to take off on your religion.

If it weren't for the amazing fellow associates who work hard to make sure the store runs smoothly, the store would easily fall apart. Management plays and "chills" all day in their offices and break room, so don't expect much leadership from the leadership team but the family feel from everyone else who works there makes up for it! The pay isn't bad but the company could do far better, especially considering how much more opportunity (slack) the associates pick up after management.

Worked for Home Depot for 5 years. Training and workplace/ home balance was a very good fit for me at the time.

I've been working at the Home Depot for about 15 1/2 a year. I have a lot to learn and communicate with someone else. This is why I am Deaf / Hard of hearing, and I am hard working through so many different places.

I cant praise this company enough. They are the most supportive and encouraging company that I have ever worked for. They are a company that actually lives up to their core values. They offer excellent benefits but they could increase the hourly rate. I am having to pick up another job because I can't make it off of the pay that they offer.

I never any problems working for the home depot its always been a great store to work for. I would refer to people to work for the company.

I've been here for 3 mo. Seems ok. Working customer service is hectic and demanding. Training is 90% on the job. Find a good trainer and stick with them.

Constant pressure around the building and unpleasant customers at times. Must communicate through speakers of the building.

They explained the pro cons and had a plan for me to help me with my weak areas and training for me to succeed

its just plain bad pushing the credit card, over-over-over--even the regular customers get very upset -when you ask them everyday---and how many cards you got?

bewarned, all they care about is the credit card, and how many you got on that day, mgrs ask ya -this question--how many cards you open up today, thats all they ask you, one week i was told the store has a goal of 40 cards, and how many you open up today? its gets old fast

Best company and people I have worked for and with. Outstanding company culture. The company takes care of it’s people to a degree that I have never experienced in 50 years of work.

THD consistently scheduled me for 29 hours a week to purposely keep me as a part time employee in order to keep me from getting employee benefits and save the company's bottom line. They prefer to have a large amount of part time employees rather than have a small number of full time employees. Their only concern is profit not people.

Fun Fun Fun Really good place to work Great job great working environment Friendly people who work their

I loved my job until i got pregnant. The day i told my bosses i was pregnant was the day it all went downhill. For a company that strives to be"family oriented" and says they care they have so much to learn. When your pregnant you need to snack at least every 2 hours to help keep you going as the baby takes all your energy. I was told I wasnt allowed to keep them at my desk in my drawer because it was unprofessional. But i also wasnt allowed to go back to the break room to eat because there was customers, even of there wasnt anybody there. As i got more pregnant my doctor wrote a note asking to have me sit as an accommodation to keep me working ( i wouldve had to have been on bed rest if not). I was then told they "dont accept doctor's notes" and a stool is unprofessional. For a 6-9 month pregnant women a stool is unprofessional. Not to mention the comments made to and about me by managers were completely and totally uncalled for and inappropriate and when reported nothing was done.

Absolutely loved working here, learning a lot about a lot of different things. Approachable management. Only downside was hours available and wage.

The whole company will always have your back. Literally. I think this is probably one of the best companies to work for. I worked in a warehouse, not the store, but the company itself is amazing.

The manager I worked under was the reason I left the company. The company is an excellent place to work, it's who you work for which makes all the difference.

The management and other associates are friendly-hard working people. Some customers are the worst. There was always customers and teams of thieves coming in the store stealing, running games on associates, being rude. It was difficult to get out of cashiering to transfer to something else since there infrequent openings in other departments.

I was an overnight freight associate and I loved it because it got me into good shape. Being mom of 3 boys best I could have asked for

Is one of the best companies to work for. I enjoyed working for Home Depot. The people that that work with you are great and helpful. Management was very helpful and supportive.

Loved working here. People are so incredibly nice and supportive. Management is good and they care about customers and they employees.

Working at The Home Depot was very fun and intense at times. As I got to meet new people and build my experience with others.
