Pros

It is a change a day environment, and that is what retail is. It is the ability to adapt to change. It is constant 180s march north as fast and as hard as you can now turn south and go right back to where you started. I have learned a ton about business through this company. The ability to travel. the knowledge you can absorb is phenomenal if you (A) Want to learn. and (B) If people are not afraid to share in fear for there job. The Orange Blood pumps through me but it drains quickly and so quietly.

Cons

Ridiculous hours of operation is it really necessary to be open from 6 am to 10 pm , lack of respect for associates will and need to be with there family's on holidays. The ability for certain people to call in every other day and keep there job for 6 months and others call in one time in 6 months and get ridiculed for it for 2 weeks, but i have learned also there are no ethics in business. So I digress to this I am a glorified baby sitter who is treated like i am 12 years old and my thoughts and ideas go unwanted or warranted for fear of being upstaged.

Pros

Decent compensation and benefits package.

Cons

Long hours and not a whole lot of satisfaction. Good 'ol boy network still rules. Company restructures every 6 months.

Pros

Home Depot was once a leader in it's business. Unfortunately, Bob Nardelli destroyed that. Fortunately, they are getting back to their roots, and refocusing on what made them great to begin with. Under the leadership of Frank Blake, they will once again rise to the top and all who are a part of that success will reap the rewards.

Cons

The past few years have been difficult for Home Depot. The previous Senior Leadership could be compared to an orange Titanic. Bob Nardelli came in and sucked the life out of the company. Even though he is gone, he has left a devastating legacy. Couple that with the sagging US economy. The Home Depot has a long, bumpy road ahead and it's going to make for a very intense work environment.
