The Home Depot

Sales

April 2020 • Lake Orion, MI

What I liked

I enjoyed working with my coworkers, and having something to do during a pandemic. I also appreciated that the company did its job to keep all of its employees safe. My store has only had one case of COVID-19, and we don't think they contracted it at work.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been given more training in different departments, as sometimes I would be called to other areas of the store I wasn't as knowledgeable about.

Advice

Apply early! Hiring for my store stops in mid-April for the summer, so send applications during March and April.

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.
