Home Depot Employee Reviews for Sales Associate

"I have worked there 2 years and only make $9.24 hour. I think that an employee with great ratings should be making $12 to $16 per hour. Look what employees are making elsewhere or here in Springfield. Management does not want you to discuss your wages with other employees. What are they afraid of? Good company except for the pay."

"I worked for Home Depot since 2012. The store associates are all nice, everyone gets along and are friends. Unfortunately when it comes to their management they need to work a lot on it for the reason that they play the favoritism card and the store doesn't function properly because no one respects them. Management needs to be completely changed."
