The Home Depot Inc. Reviews
What is it like working at The Home Depot Inc.?
The hardest job youll ever love! A different job every day.
Retail Store Assistant Manager:
Pros: Helping customers every day, and playing a part in each employees life and future.
Cons: Not having enough time to spend with customers and associates- I must move to help the most customers, and listen to each associate- sometimes I cannot give the right amount of time to each.
ToolRental manager.
Operations Supervisor:
Pros: Amazing bosses, excellent opportunity to grow and improve skillset.
Cons: Pay entry level employees relatively little, can't keep good employees, lots of turn over.
Life on the Parking Lot.
Parking Lot Attendant:
Pros: Best part is helping out customers and saving them time by loading items for them.
Cons: Weekend is open, only given days off according to schedule availability; parking lot gets hectic or when I am the only person working in the lot at the time.
Challenging Never Boring.
Retail Department Supervisor:
Pros: Alway learning something new. Daily challenges.
Cons: Schedule doesn't allow for normal home activities, unless vacation time is requested.
Long Hours and No Love.
Asset Protection Manager:
Pros: There are great benefits and great pay. The employees are great and most are job-focused. All of the employees want more knowledge and to expand their current situation. Everyone wants to see the business grow and do well, because it improves their own bonuses and profit shares. They offer great training and development.
Cons: The company requires managers to work 55+ hours a week with no overtime paid. They put an (hourly rate) x 40 hours on the paystub, but the extra 15+ hours of overtime is given to the company for free. According to California law, this practice is illegal. To comply with the law, managers must be paid a minimum of 2 times the current minimum wage and be paid overtime over 40 hours. So currently the CA min. Wage is $9.25, but for a manager (any level) it is $18.50. Annually (2080 hours) base is $38,480. Their required overtime (1.5 x 780=1170 hours) annually is $21,645. Total hourly compensation to meet their time worked requirement is $60,125 at CA min. Wage rate. Essentially, you are short changed financially and you have no work/life balance. It not good when you find out that, as a manager, you are being paid less than your employees' hourly rate.
Unrewarding.
Sales Associate:
Pros: Associates are good people.
Cons: Compensation is excessively low.
Providing excellent customer service, learning new skills.
Customer Service Associate:
Pros: I enjoy working with customers and being physically active. I enjoy gaining more skills and added knowledge to help customers with their improvement projects.
Cons: When associates are unable to complete their tasks, usually it gets passed off to the next associate. This can have a negative affect on store sales.
