Pros

You can advance if you play the politics game with the management and be a puppet. Transfer anywhere if you move to another state, Home Depot is all over If you are good at working with people and knowledgable in the store you can enjoy being a part of the community

Cons

Pay scale very low for area Managment attitudes are forced on associates, mostly bad, some good No cost of living increases just meager 1-3% raises Turnover of managers and assoc. is very high in all stores, mostly because of the pay scales Company rules are not followed as required, by managment and associates Raises are poor for the expected work

Pros

The Home Depot has a solid moral compass. They aren't about sacrificing their ethics for the sake of a sale, which I love. They also hire a diverse group of people and give a lot back to the community. They offer a lot of benefits and little treats for their employees. Although they push their associates to meet quota, they're realistic about what can and can't be accomplished.

Cons

Home Depot has two different sides to it. Store associates and those of us considered "store support" who are payed by the vendors but work in the stores 100% of the time. I constantly hear about how store associates are stressed out by management and their hours are being rearranged a lot, cut, and they often are stretched thin due to lack of full staffing. "Store support" associates who do merchandising have it better than those who work in specific departments. However, you never really gain knowledge unless you have the time to look things up and read packaging.
