Vantaggi

Able to move around from department to department.

Svantaggi

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.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
