Great people. Physical job that got me in shape. Many different tasks to do so it never got boring. I've been having a great experience at The Home Depot.

We were very understaffed at times due to a variety of obstacles related to COVID-19. This made the work more stressful and hard to accomplish at times.

What I liked

The Home Depot call center has a wonderful environment and opportunities for growth, such as participation in the LEAD program and other positive groups/opportunities, such as Toastmasters public speaking preparation, Homer Fund charity donation, Built from Scratch Veteran Volunteer projects, and many more.

What I wish was different

I wish I has started going to school and working full time earlier than just this semester, rather that just working full time. That way I could be closer to my degree sooner and take advantage of the benefits.

Advice

Take advantage every opportunity within your power, even if it scares you. Pushing yourself our of your comfort zone is the most effective way to test yourself and provide opportunities for growth.

Sales Associate

May 2020 • St. Cloud, MN

What I liked

I liked the hourly wage I got, the people, and that I got to work with paint.

What I wish was different

I wish the way I was trained in was different as I was confused a lot and didn't know how to ask certain questions. Additionally, within my first month I was working alone at times. I figured it out, but it was still scary.

Advice

You got this! Don't take people's words personally. There's a lot of customers who just need to take their frustrations out on an associate.
