The Home Depot Outlook Employee Reviews

What makes you most happy at work?

When I get to go home.

When its close to the time to clock out

My immediate manager is the best, friendly people, hours of operations and different timings are outstanding as well.

Talking to my coworkers, being able to leave my desk when needed

I don't get to interact with grumpy customers as much

working with the team, surounding good

Doing a good job for the company, taking care of the inventory and stock and putting in inventory out for the customers to purchase

When I win over a large job and it works out.

Coming in to work with my co workers, and working together without having to be told what to do.

For everyone to be working for your breaks to be on time for there to be water available for there to be a working air conditioner when you’re outside garden and shade and bilingual pay they want you to interpret but they don’t pay

Seeing customers smile when i suggest their dream home color

Talking with an helping customers

My team!!! Walking into work, I have a most incredible view of the mountains so walking in is always like, "today's going to be a great day!" The "buzz" walking into the store and seeing happy faces, hearing laughter and positivity. I love busy days and cross clocking different depts. Knowledge!

Review from HR Dept

Helping my customers in needed areas.

The coworkers that I am on the same page with

Never a dull moment, I am always moving.

Helping customers get what they need

My fellow associates are always willing to help

Bringing a customer's idea to a reality one piece at a time

It the best place i have ever worked at.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

More help and training leadership being more engaged with associates

Again,there is a lot more than 300 characters can cover

I feel like i am being targeted because i explained how David is always complaining to me about our coach michael who does not carry his weight. David says he is doing everyone elses work. It is like i dont fo snything

Management needs to improve communication and stop acting like bullies.

Customers feel unseen because getting assistance is difficult and too often impossible.

Finding a worker to answer questions is next to impossible

The employees inside have no discipline because they all just bow down to their managers so the managers never do anything bad to them

Not enough people show up to meet demands of so called leads. The best are actively looking for a better job.

Workers with knowledge and positive work ethic

Our store is rated high as far as sales, but I watch them lose thousands and customers daily. Employee retention horrible. Customer service ratings really bad. But that is because of the poorly managed departments. Also orders are never where they are supposed to be. Wrong things getting delivered

Customer service is almost nonexistent at Home Depot they have one person covering hardware one person covering electrical, one person covering plumbing and they have to cover 6 to 8 aisles each. I see customers waiting 10 minutes for an associate to come help them because they have three other peo

A Home Depot needs a lot more training communication to further their company. Management is very bad on communicating with their associates and talking down on them making them feel bad. All they care about is their bonuses and how much money the stores making. They don't care about their employees

Review from Sales Dept

The executive team is not on board to comply with the mandates of the company.

customer service is bad and management

Review from Sales Dept

Pay tour employees fairly and actually listen to them.

Better leadership and better assumption of responsibility when things are wrong and held up for questioning

Need knowledgeable people with actual experience in the dept they work in. Its hard to teach a 18 year old kid electricity or plumbing when he has no hands on experience. This makes customers very upset.

Not enough people because management isn't seeing the example not taking care of their employees. Employees aren't doing their job fully so it affects everything else. Systems aren't updates as wel as computers

Review from Customer Support Dept

More focus on having quality relationships dwith customers

Service and more hors to care for customers

What do you like best about your company?

DEALING WITH MY CUSTOMERS IN A FRIENDLY AND KNOWLADGABLE WAY

My coworkers because they make The Home Depot feel like a second home.

The fact that each day I go in I know I am working the best I can and feel as though I accomplished my tasks.

My co workers, and the benefit package

Availability of products I use at home

Review from Product Dept

Tbe managers and bosses are all very understanding with whats going on with you outside of work, so taking time off is not made difficult at all

My fellow associates and the understanding if having to change my work schedule

Secure place to work most times

I love my co-workers and the fact that I am only a mile and a half from work... Very convenient.

Review from Operations Dept

My managers are fun positive friendly people.

Review from Sales Dept

Coworkers

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

MORE INCINTIVE TO GET THE HOME DEPOT CARD APPLICATIONS AND THE SURVEYS DONE WITH MY CUSTOMERS LEAVING WITH A GOOD EXPERIENCE

A greater focus on departmental training.

I would like to see the raise increase go up as I know we all deserve more pay.

Our store manager care more about his people and less about how good they can make him look.

Some of the management needs to be evaluated.

Review from Product Dept

Maybe a better pay per qualification

Pay, communications, pay, commutation, and real recognition

Consistency of management messaging

Review from Engineering Dept

When the managers really start listening to their employees

opportunities for minorities

Review from Product Dept

More leadership roles. Manager's & Lead's have too many direct reports

Review from Design Dept

More employee coverage

Review from Sales Dept

Make it easier to move up in the company

Team building

Benefits, less process and hierarchy

Base compensation.
