Most likely the best company and co-workers I've ever had the pleasure of working for and with.

What do you like best about the leadership team?
They listen to opinions from low to high ranking associates and are always open to new ideas. They also have an open door policy, which allows for great communication. The executive team is also very humble.
Review from Operations Dept
Our leaders are of a different breed, meaning they are compassionate about the wellbeing of every employee. I have yet to hear of any other company doing as much as they have done for their associates.

They listen to the associates and work with them to get the issues solved.

actually being part of a job, if it can be delegated fine but see it is finished.

Review from Operations Dept
comp is ok, but home depots stock participation is ridiculous if you on a subsistence income. and the idea of banking stock purchase money until end of investment period, you lose income and reinvestment oportunity

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They need to stop playing favorites and actually train new associates. They also need to relax when their understaffed, they treat the employees rudely when their stressed out. All in all I just work there for the pay.

As an associate gains an above average knowledge in various departments management should at the very least show they value that associate. That doesn't necessarily mean more money.
