Vantaggi

Good brand recognition, strong overall customer satisfaction and reputation. There are opportunities for mobility and advancement. The company has a strong benefits package

Svantaggi

It is a retail organization and there is an expectation that managers will be constantly available. The company creates a lot of false urgency with its programs and promotions, forcing managers to instantaneously shift gears and launch off in a new direction. Managers work ~90 hrs/week and are constantly told that they need to "suck it up" and work harder in order to succeed. There is no recognition for how dedicated and how hard they work. Lip service, yes...but actual recognition and acknowledgement-- no.Get screamed at and called irresponsible if you dare turn off your blackberry at 2:00 pm on a Saturday afternoon so you can see your daughters recital and end up missing some regional honch's 2:15 request for a 2:30 conference call to discuss this morning's numbers.

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.
