The Home Depot reviews

Most co-workers do try under pressures of skeleton staff and hours being cut to increase corporate profits. It's easy to get noticed if you go above and beyond. Harder to be compensated for going above and beyond.

Very difficult to get FT status. Tiresome training videos that gaslight the watcher with regards to the value wheel. It does not take long to learn the value wheel is really only true with the floor associates. Every level of management focuses less and less on all segments except the shareholder. The higher you get in the management chain, the more factual that statement becomes.

I don't really have anything to say here. Not many perks which are specific to THD. The free eye care is nice. The fact they make it so difficult to go full time really limits the full benefits package. The low pay makes it difficult to buy into the stocks and other financial benefits offered. Most associates don't make enough to survive without some other source of income.

The new program where they are sending or corporate employees out on the floor to spend a shift is a good idea. Whether it becomes a publicity stunt if yet to be seen.

Force the all the management outside of the stores to spend time on the floor with associates and let them shadow the associate. They all need to be retrained on the full value wheel. There are enough crybabies at the HD which can be dismissed as such but there are enough associates that really live the orange life and these are the people the corporate managers need to spend time with.

I didn't really prepare outside of my experience as a professional in the field of finish carpentry.

It could be acceptable I suppose in certain circumstances. For anyone that comes here for a "career" as they advertise on the banners over the front door... you will struggle to make this your only source of income.

I think they actually do a good job here.

The customers. I spend time and really just follow the basics of customer service. I don't need all these silly ideas like GET. I have done that and more my entire life when I deal with people.

Very kind and family like people at the labor force level. Good people working hard.

1. Ageism. 2. Little concern for quality and service as it was years ago when professional people were hired. 3. Teaches people (customers) to steal with abandon. Flagrant disregard for consequences or accountability. 4. Understaffed by design to decrease costs and increase bonuses for managers. Sad. 5. Poor productivity is rewarded by ignoring the need for individual accountability in the effort to coddle lazy employees who don’t carry their own weight overworking productive employees to achieve the delta. 6. Fake and superficial examples of award for participation instead of genuine reward for real accomplishments.

Insurance. Mediocre but serviceable.

Energetic but misguided effort that represents the minority of wealthy higher level employees.

Reverse the bonus attributes for success starting with the labor force instead of the management team. The real earners for the success of The Home Depot are the workers on the floor and not the managers in the offices. As us typical, the workers bonuses are as small as their salaries and the greatest benefit of bonuses for success are larger for the workers who contribute the least. Shameful.

Serious in-depth research and employee engagement in the stores. Communication with recruiters.

Poorly!

Acceptable but requires improvement.

Helping people with solutions to their problems.

Ability to transfer to different stores if needed due to relocating

Raises are based off a “team” performance not an individual performance. Thus leading one to not have any motivation to perform above standards when your coworkers don’t.

Learning different departments

Nothing. They just want their money and don’t care about the environment the employees work in. They do not ask associates what would make the stores better but they are quick to put their two cents in. They would rather a forklift operator take a bunk of 12ft 2x8 lumber through the store around customers instead of having a contractor pull around back to be loaded where it is safer, and one would not have to interfere with customers shopping experience

All stores do not need to be treated the same. ie: if an incident happens at a store that should not interfere with another store’s ability to continue operating as they were.

The same as any interview.

It isn’t the worst but could definitely use a review

I feel this is the best thing Home Depot offers

My coworkers

its close to my house

No accountability, favoritism, non visible management staff, unfair labor actions

stock price

CEO is a non entity on the store level. visits from regional management is a joke, we call it the dog and pony show.

Home Depot has some great ideas but once they hit the store level they become watered down and ineffective. Make a rule and stick with it - collared shirts, no cell phones on the floor - which has become a major issue

Walked in and 10 minutes later walked out with a job. None of this "Tell me about a time when you..." All that does is ensure the biggest BS artist wins Go back to the old days of interviewing, on the spot with a couple of simple questions. Half the time new associates aren't a good match regardless of the lengthy process

Having been with them for 25 years, it took me all of those years to triple my salary from my starting wage of $10/hour, which back then was great, now they pay like every one else

Why have we never had a women as CEO? Says it best right there

Helping customers

Part time benefits eligible and a strong "family atmosphere. Everyone treats Everyone fair

As with all places, there is favoritism

Paid sick time, paid vacation time (earned monthly/yearly)

Don't care too much about the CEO, but the regional VP and district managers to randomly pop in and treat us hourly associates with a smile and a hello.

They should listen to the input of us front line workers.

I researched the company and the position I was applying to.

I believe this is a competitive market and every company will try to offer 1% more than the next.

I'm a middle aged white male, but work with many people from all walks of life. Even Mexican New Yorker, with a black mom, so

My co-workers

Supportive corporate culture as indicated by The Homer Fund.

Pay level.

Diversity and opportunity

Management support, proper training

Eye and dental insurance

They make the most of what corporate requires

The voice of the associate was eliminated after the election. It would be beneficial for everyone if it came back

I didn’t. I interviewed well, so I was offered the Expeditor position.

My compensation is on the lower side

Until DEI was eliminated, it was beneficial.

The customers bring me joy.

Team Oriented, many different areas to work in or learn, decent pay, laid back, customer focused atmosphere/philosophy.

Start as part-time usually, not always enough to do, seasonal fluctuations, management not always the best, lack of upward mobility if supervisors refuse to move up.

There aren't really any perks or benefits at THD but the company does take care of its associates when needed to.

There are many opportunities to move up within the company.

Poor coverage on the floor.

Success sharing.

Are willing to listen to your needs as an associate.

family Base company model

they stop doing the Quarterly bonuses

The health plan help save my life

upfront and forward with communicating the company vision

i wouldnt change a thing

Favoritism is rampant. Retaliatory acts from management. Badges for performance are giving to satisfy there numbers. Work never ends for those that perform. You're demanded to get a forklift and reach license with No pay increase.

If you work you're only getting more work .

Leaving on time . But that doesn't always happen.

I really can't say

Improve training for management on how to manage

Nothing . They are desperate to hire because of there high turn over rate

Is leaving on time but that rarely happens due to the constant call outs from other employees

Favoritism is rampant

Its average

The vacation time.Stock in the company.Meeting customers helping them with there project.

The unfairness in the schedule.working 9 days in a row.favoritism.

Stocks

Our leadership in our store is not fair

The core values to be followed

I walked in a received a paper application

Yes. I been with the company for years

Na

Meeting new people Helping customers with their new projects

Are good

Are just OK

I don't have one.I used to a 401k plan in the past.Not anymore

Diverseness

By expanding into South America

By doing a mock interview with family members

Fairly alright

Doing there utmost best

Working out in the parking lot as a parking lot attendant

Working with customers and helping them to complete their projects

Poorly managed. Lack of knowledge on the part of management in leadership. Management assuming they are more knowledgeable than associates in construction fields. Ignoring associates concerns regarding safety.

There are no perks.

Have worked for two years and have never engaged with the leadership team.

Fair treatment for exceptional skills and knowledge.

Average

Good representation

Good environment for social interaction…."."………….

I feel this is the best thing Home Depot offers

My coworkers

You can move up in the company. You get out of it what you put In and get support from management.

It is retail so you get everything that comes with that. You work with every kind of person even lazy

401 k for sure is my favorite benefit

Sometimes the consistency is off

By thinking of my life experiences and how they help me in my work life

Hd is very diverse

The people I work with

Above average

Learned a lot. Focus on cross-training was unique and exciting.

CO-workers who weren't serious about their assignments. Wear and year on the body.

The health insurance, matching 401K, purchasing power program.

The managers who cared about you were the genuine article!

The pay.

Going online and researching the company, and visiting a nearby store.

Is on par or lower

Depends on which store and which district.

1. For me, fulfilling my assignment with a great co-worker. 2. The appreciation days the Company provides.

One thing I enjoy about working there is that they are flexible with my hours.

One thing I do not enjoy is that there is not a lot of support.

One perk I enjoy is that I receive paid sick and vacation days.

Competitive salary, good hours

Unfair scheduling, favoritism, low wage

Lots of parties

Nice manager Ceo must make money because we dont

Livable wages,,,,too much difference in department wages, some get bonuses most dont

I didnt

Low wage, can't afford an apartment, car insurance and food

They hire anyone

Going home

I get along great with all of my coworkers and managers are all pretty helpful. The customers, most of them anyways, are all pretty nice, too.

I would love to go full-time,but have only gotten part-time hours even after being there for 2 years.

They start from day 1

Open door policy

I don't know actually but since I have to use at least 75 characters here that's what I'm going to do

Be myself. There's nothing you really can do. Just don't show up drunk or higher than a Georgia pine tree and smile and be really nice to the person interviewing you and you should be fine.

Above average

I guess it's ok

I get along well with everyone and we're like a big family

wok/ life balance

not nearly enough communication

health insurance, vison, & 401k

they take the time to listen to the concerns and safety of there associates

communication is the number one thing many of us have realized could be more of a priority

applying online at indeed

above average

they could honestly be better but im not complaining

helping customers find wat they need is my number one joy, also my co workers and my relationships with them

Excellent company. The people you work with make the difference.

Excellent company. The people you work with make the difference.

ESPP, 401k and The Homer Fund programs.

They live by the core values of the home taking care of the people.

The company is focused driven by its culture.I love it.

Be myself.

Pros? Location is close to home. Lenient late in policy. Accrual of sick pay and vacation pay. Benefit availability starts day 1 for most programs.

Cons? Easier than pros. PAY. We got a 3% raise. Woo hoo. Doesn't even add a$100 a pay period. On a lark, I applied for a free government phone. I qualified in spite of working FULL TIME. Pitiful to live well below the federal poverty guidelines while

Interactions with the customers make my day

The amount of heavy work I do compared to my coworkers and we get paid in the same range I single handled getting my department ready to shop every day in the LUMBER dpt

Raffle every month for an extra 50$

The early hours, ease of public transportation, management, learning new skills.

Toxic environment, lack of warehouse staff and communication.

Work life benefits, covid relief/time off, discounts to different stores.

The great co workers and great owners

The managers were power hungry and ageist

The health coverage

I Ran Oustside Contractor Orders. I was pretty much my own boss .

Pay and management was horrible

Good benefits, hours

My pay

None. My location is powder springs store

Working is something you have to do in life to be successful and provide for your kids and family. There are know off day's. I'm not rich so I gotta go get it.

The company cares about the associates and takes care of its people

Some of the people who work for the company don't follow the values

The Homer Fund

High advancement opportunities

Workload, they hold onto the bad employees

Good people to work with. They offer success sharing with bonuses

The people I work with are very nice and they are flexible with time off

Not enough working hours

Sick time and vacation

Great Customers

Age Discrimination. Watch out if you are 55 or older.

Company BOUGHT Treats!! We can treat our department like it is our own business.

Close to home, variety of departments to work in

Lack of accountability, communication, dirty

Vacation

it is a steady job

the stores are filthy, management is home grown, they lack professional leadership training. Managers are severely underpaid. Most associates are the one's no one else will hire.

employee stock purchase

Great culture and core Values

Some challenges with communication between workgroups

Perks at work

I liked some of the other staff

I hated the management and negative work environment

Being able to call out when sick

If you get to work with people who actually want to work and work their schedule its awesome. Benefit options like free eye care

Unrealistic work load and work life balance. One thing after another added to all positions but cutting back on hours to add to high call out rates. Upper management has lost the understanding of what its like to work in the building where people dont care about your title and show you lack of respect.

Receipt tracking and free eye care

You can make lots of friends with associates and customers

I'm a Lot associate and there is supposed to be 2 at anytime during the day. But my store mainly has just me, loading, unloading, flagging, and clearing all the carts. Also helping other departments

Employee discounts for other companies. 👎 no employee discount at home depot.

Environment People are great !

We don’t have too many food choices close by.

Great work for your health!

relationship with co workers

Sometimes your schedule becomes inconsistent in the hours you work

Profit sharing

The customers are great

Management lies. They'll promise that there's growth potential. But it all depends on who you know and whether they like you or not. It's quite political.

1 week vacation after 6 months

its great, you can pick your hours, you can expect two raises a year (from my experiece and my co workers) and management is often friendly and understanding. there are also benifits like dental.

the only con for being an associate would be any negative customer interactions

Wonderful staff

That you can move around in the store and across the country

Good people, love paint department

Lack of communication with associates

The vision insurance is great. The Homer Fund helped me.when I had a fire.

A lot of variety and learning opportunities

Can be very cliquish depending on your store

PTO

Customer interaction

Low pay

Flexible schedule when I need it off it was granted HR person was excellent.

I was in management and managed 8 to 20 Salespeople. I had unlimited earning potential with bonus pay. I was a tenured Sales Manager.

The opportunities for advancement. Had to relocate three times. Sales training was not always contemporary. The environment was not diverse, inclusive and equitable.

Bonus, 401 and employee stock option purchase

401k

Flexibility when helping customers

Work inviroment management discriminates and plays favorites.

It was the first customer service job that felt like a "real" job. There was training and lots of support from co-workers. I had a sense of purpose and fundamental skills I needed to learn in order to work there.

The working conditions weren't always excellent, especially in the summer. The whole building didn't have AC and was sweltering hot.
