The Home Depot reviews

Some of the negatives i experienced when i worked for this company are that they did NOT hire the most competent and qualified people that they could, they put people in positions they are not "suited" for. Management needs be more pro-active in commending employees for a job well done and be more "hands on" supportive of serving customers and heading off potentially ugly issues, and certainly be more knowledgeable of how to operate store systems. Handing out badges, paper certificates, and occasional prizes here and there because it's a requirement to meet a certain quota of awards is not fair to everyone. But, giving better raises more often, when they are warranted seems like a better way of rewarding and motivating associates. So, in brief, store management was not the greatest. Their work scheduling structure and format is totally horrid/ unhealthy, and makes it nearly impossible to have any kind of normal family or personal life.

A RTO policy was just implemented for the SEO department, despite half the team living out of state. Now, the time in position policy has been extended from one year to two years. All corporate employees need to work a day in a Home Depot store per quarter, no matter if it's relevant to their day to day job or not. Lastly, the worry of being laid off is a constant cloud over your head.
