Home Depot Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Honestly, I'm enjoying my job at Home Depot. I've only been there for about 95 days, and I've received 5 Homer Badges, along with 2 decent promotions. Just like most places, you have to exceed expectations in order to get recognized, not just meet them. I would like to see better communication though, throughout the entire store. I also see too many damn pumpkin patches standing around during the week days, the managers complain about overtime, but don't seem to be cutting their hours at all."

"Great place to work at. I have learned so much."

"It is a good job but need more communication."

"I work as a "design consultant" in the customer's home to sell cabinet refacing, countertops, backslashes and bathroom acrylic liners, closet and garage organizers. The company values are not reflected in the Home Depot Interiors (HDI) group, which was acquired (US Remodelers) in 2012 and uses "bait and switch" and "drop anchor" one-call close tactics to manipulate customers to buy TODAY, when they were expecting a "design consultant" to help them pick colors, styles, etc. for their project."

"It is an outstanding company to work for. The politics can be challenging to sync with but the Associates in the store are some of the finest employees you could ever work with."

"Working as a contractor at Home Depot in IT is very difficult. You have no control of your projects and there is a hierarchy structure where you cannot reach out to anyone above your pay grade. The contractors are treated like you work in a sweat house."

"I've worked at Home Depot for 5 years and I feel it is a great starting point. Gives you experience dealing with customers and associates and there are possibilities to improve, but I am looking for more than just Home Depot."

"I've been working for The Home Depot since September of 2013. So far it's been a good experience for me since graduating Lincoln Technical Institute because it gives me a more broader knowledge of the field I've previously which was HVAC/R."

"I've worked 2 years for The Home Depot. It has been an excellent place to start at and gain knowledge of working within a major company."

"I have little to no interest to continue working in the retail environment. With that being said there is low to medium opportunity to advance in Home Depot as a corporation without climbing up the chain to department head, to assistant manager, and finally to manager. I am overqualified for the position that I hold as well as the position above me. Yet there is a great deal of favoritism shown to certain individuals for personal reasons when working in a small store environment like this."
