Paint Associate
June 2020 • North Versailles Township, PA
What I liked
Many managers in the store had been with Home Depot for a longer period time and have worked their way up. It was cool to see that they promote within the company and invest in their customers. There was also always a lot to learn in Home Depot regarding the knowledge in your own department and different departments as well. This made the job feel less mundane.
What I wish was different
Sometimes the lack of structure within the store made it difficult to locate people in different departments and also made it difficult to know what you were expected to be doing.
Advice
I would encourage you to learn as much as you can about your department. There is always more to learn. In return, the increased knowledge helps the betterment and ease of helping customers with their projects.
