Pros

Customers and co-workers are the best and the worst... lots of love from your co-workers and no love from management unless you have an exceptional person who hasn't gotten smart enough to leave the place.

Cons

There is a lot of backstabbing and people throwing each other under the bus; no training unless you crawl around and find things out for yourself, tons of online (read here BORING) training to do, not much hands on until you are thrown to the dogs. Capricious actions on management and human resources managers have been the end of many careers here, lots of good people great at their jobs are unceremoniously dumped because a manager is in a corner and needs to either step up and take responsibility for not training people (fat chance) or knifing someone in the back. Seen it again and again.

Pros

The primary reason to work for Home Depot lies in it's name and the fact that it is one of the industry leaders.

Cons

Actually, Home Depot has great potential to be an employer of choice. However, it's weakness lie in the fact that it is top heavy. There are no real opportunities for extremely qualified associates to advance. Many end of leaving and accepting leadership positions at their new companies.
