      Finding a good leader is like finding a needle in a haystack at Home Depot.

      Pros

      If you play brown nose the right people and act dumber than you are you will be able to get raises and promotions. It's political. Making friends with people in positions higher than you should be your priority here if you want to make more money or get a better job at this company.

      Cons

      Management is jealous of workers who are in school. The political nature of raises and promotions causes a lot of discouragement to people who work hard and would do well in a leadership position. Store managers and Assistant Store Managers are generally uneducated and insecure.

      Pros

      The founders of this company Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank created a culture of taking care of people, resulting in Loyal associates and customers. Unfortionatly since Arthur retired and Bernie is busy running the Atlanta Falcons the culture that built the company to what it is today is no longer 100%. Certain morons have begun to fill the ranks of upper management (especially district 166 as of 2009) Having said this it is overall still a great company to work for with most managers still having this great culture instilled in them and there day to day operations.

      Cons

      The Home Depot grew so fast in the 80's that it is still catching up with solutions to there growing pains.There are operational defficiency's from there Computer software/Cash registers to there new auto replenish ordering system. All of the problems of a huge bureaucracy have not yet been solved creating obsticles and challenges on a daily basis for saleried and hourly managers. These challenges include but are not limited to brand new billion dollar logistics and ordering system BROKEN, Receiving accuracy and inventory management BROKEN company wide...and several others...
