What I liked

The Benefits- Students enrolled in college can apply for scholarships each semester, so it's very helpful to work here when you're in school. Starting in July, The Home Depot also gave out benefits to employees for working during the COVID-19 pandemic. You got bonus pay for working X amount of hours, and by filling out the required health survey before each shift, you made some extra cash, too! The Flexibility- I gave the HR staff my schedule and they assigned me shifts, plus part-time employees only had to work one day every weekend. Head Cashiers- Most head cashiers are friendly and are willing to help answer any questions.

What I wish was different

Treatment of new cashiers- One of the supervisory full-time cashiers treated new cashiers poorly when they messed something up on the job. Most of the mistakes were because the cashier had not been trained properly or told the correct protocol, but the supervisor was very harsh when they didn't know how to do things they had never been trained on.

Advice

If you are currently enrolled in college, I highly suggest this job! The pay is above minimum wage and it's very easy, plus you get a lot of benefits. You can also take leave of absence whenever you want and The Home Depot is required to keep your position open for you when you return, so you can work whenever you want during the whole year as long as you give timely notice!

Cashier

May 2020 • Buford, GA

What I liked

I enjoyed getting to learn many valuable skills such as using a POS system, engaging with the customers, flatstacking, etc. I also enjoyed the work environment as well as the other employers as everyone was friendly and worked hard.

What I wish was different

There weren't many complaints. Maybe a greater pay rate considering the tasks we were doing.

Advice

One piece of advice I would offer is that I recommend is to always be there for the customer and always smile because even that simple gesture goes a long way and allows for a more satisfied customer.

Software Engineer Intern

June - July 2020 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

It was a virtual experience due to coronavirus however THD made sure to take care of their interns. Throughout the internship we had mentors to give us advice and sessions for career development. What I liked the most was how team oriented everyone was and THD's cultural atmosphere.

What I wish was different

Of course I wouldve liked an in person internship but they did great creating this virtually. I cannot complain.

Advice

To not be scared to ask questions even if you think you are being annoying. You will learn so much more than you ever have in such a short time period so take advantage of it.
