Vantaggi
**Warning** Accept an offer of employment at your own risk. There are a lots of office politics at Home Depot.com (Georgia). Otherwise, this is a good company to work for but some of those in leadership positions; some of the managers, supervisors and team leads, have created a work environment that is full of tension and strife with ritualistic tactics they carry out on a daily basis. It starts at the top and trickles down. Their office politics are a combination of spying on others, brown-nosing, back biting, eaves dropping, gossiping, lying on others and conspiring against those they see as a more qualified and more talented than they. Most of the managers, supervisors and team leads run in cliques and stick together and if one of them don’t like you, they’ll blackball you so that no one else will. The majority of these leaders are very immature, very unprofessional and unqualified to be in their role but the superiors who are largely responsible for promoting such individuals do so as a personal benefit and set out to promote them rather quickly. The environment would remind you a lot of middle-school. On the other hand, if you come to work every day, mind your own business, don’t join cliques, have uncompromising work ethics and carry yourself in a professional manner, more than likely you will be the very one who will be picked apart by your team lead or supervisor on a daily basis about something minuscule. It is common practice that some of the best and brightest people quit soon after they’re hired or end up being fired by one of the leaders who saw them as a personal threat. As you can imagine, the turn-over is very high. Note: this company has a team of social media managers who monitor all social media sites in order to eradicate any negative post made about this company by posting things that say the complete opposite of what is truth about them so don’t be surprised to see an influx of glowing posts.
