Pros

Benefits, ESPP, 401k plan, in house day care

Cons

Management being deaf, dumb, blind and stupid about who really gets the work done. managers providing back stabbing references. Uses old-fashioned rack and stack system for annual review and raises. Rewards management better than employees who actually do the work. System allows mediocre employees a safe haven while hard working employees are overloaded. Too much of a good old boy network, you have to know the right people, wear the right clothing and be a clone of others in the position.

Pros

Able to move around from department to department.

Cons

Putting someone in a sales job with no training and expecting high sales volume when scheduling during the slowest hours of the day. They set you up to fail and then write you up for low sales. No commission, just a sales quota that, if you don't meet, you can be fired. And again, they expect this with little to no training and working the slowest hours. They also talk a good game about caring about their employees, but when my husband ended up in the hospital with a serious condition, I was written up for attendance. Seriously this is the worst experience with a company I've ever had. Maybe I'm just used to professional companies that know what leadership really is.

Pros

Can't think of a single pro.

Cons

This is a top-down organization that doesn't care about your knowledge, experience, opinions, or anything else.. I was used to working for flat organizations where I could contribute and collaborate, but Home Depot doesn't care about your past experience. PTO is not documented, which results in some employees taking more vacation than is supposed to be allowed. It also is a way for Home Depot to not pay their employees any vacation pay. HR is not transparent and will be dishonest with your pay, vacation, and other things.
