Home Depot Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"There is big need for maturity in IT processes. The company overall has a lot of potential but what hurts them is the balance in properly managing their growth and not hurt themself in the process."

"I worked for Home Depot for three years. I received awards for superior customer service and million dollar plus sales for two years in a row. My impression of the company is that they pay poorly, train poorly, and back up their customers at the expense of their employees. Morale among most floor associates is poor."
