Pros

The pay is fair. Monday-Friday, with weekends and major holidays off (for this role). If you have a helpful and fun team, it makes the time at work all the more enjoyable. You get to use basic hand tools and some power tools. At the end of the day or week, after completing a bigger project or reset, you'll feel accomplished and proud that YOU did that and YOU made it happen! Overall, the rest of the store generally respects the department, as they know the work we do isn't easy. Typically, managers, supervisors, and department heads appreciate you and what you bring to the table.

Cons

The job can be physically demanding at times, You'll get dirty. Typically, any project your assigned will include a time frame for completion; however, at times you aren't given enough time to complete the task or project. Supervisors are generally understanding about this. I believe the time frames come from corporate (however, I may be mistaken).

Pros

The Home Depot has a solid moral compass. They aren't about sacrificing their ethics for the sake of a sale, which I love. They also hire a diverse group of people and give a lot back to the community. They offer a lot of benefits and little treats for their employees. Although they push their associates to meet quota, they're realistic about what can and can't be accomplished.

Cons

Home Depot has two different sides to it. Store associates and those of us considered "store support" who are payed by the vendors but work in the stores 100% of the time. I constantly hear about how store associates are stressed out by management and their hours are being rearranged a lot, cut, and they often are stretched thin due to lack of full staffing. "Store support" associates who do merchandising have it better than those who work in specific departments. However, you never really gain knowledge unless you have the time to look things up and read packaging.
