Vantaggi
Great company to start with. I started with this company when I was 20 and learned majority of what I know about business from the leaders. Great benefits, decent atmosphere but the biggest value is the experience it can provide an aspiring professional in business.
Svantaggi
the culture changed in the last five years. Mostly due to poor decisions regarding the market moving to the web and away from catalogs. Our competitors made better decisons so the company has gone through numerous restructuring and lay offs. that has left morale extremely low. Most people are more concerned with keeping their jobs as oppose to excelling in their areas. After leaving HD Suppy I found that we were not paid competiviely. In fact as a Project Manager I was making way below the average in San Diego even though I was doing comparable work. I also found that since our President left the company and most of the executive positions are now held in Atlanta GA there is a strong disconnect within the company. No one knows what the other department is working on. They eliminated positions that were quality focused such as Voice of the Customer and other programs that made sure our customers were promoters of our company.
