Pros

It is a good place to work if you have little education and have the patience to rise throught the ranks.

Cons

Getting promoted to management is difficult especially if you have a college degree. Promotions seem to be pre-selected. Assistant managers have no life outside the store working 60-80hrs 6-7 days a week.

Pros

This job is for someone who want little or no responsibility. I don't mean this in a bad way however if you just want to show up do your job and go home this is the perfect job for you. Good opportunities to learn how to do repairs on your home.

Cons

Like any workplace advancement is all on who you know. The store I work at offers little in the way of advancement. They offer little in the way of pay increase as a result of there lack of advancement. Higher wages are reserved for upper management who are seen little except to crack the whip. No employee discount.

Pros

Availability to training and growth opportunities allow a person to "grow" where they want to go.

Cons

Compensation and scheduling does not make it an inviting place for people to come or to stay. There are many other companies leading and setting trends which the Home Depot refuses to look at in order to keep good people
