The Home Depot

Great people below the management level.

Excellent place to get free training so you can go get a higher paying job somewhere else.

Gives back to the community.

Homer fund to help employees in need.

Incompetent middle management who stayed too long and have outdated skills. Poor merit increases. Management does not live by the core values and makes up their own core values. Systematic removal of older IT workers in favor of recent graduates. Too much politics and backstabbing. HR always sides with management.

Leadership should remove all managers who have been there too long and are no longer able to lead technically.

I was told by a brand new manager, before I left, that the core values that are on the wall are not a real thing but wall decoration.

Since they removed most of the people who helped to get Home Depot to where they are, they lost the core values that the company lived by, as they became one of the greatest retailers in retail.

At the time I left, it turned into a revolving-door job where junior developers received enough training through the "Orange Method" so they could get a higher wage increase.

HR always sides with management and was quick to walk out people who worked long hours to help build Home Depot to what it was.

Remember, when you treat employees that way, you don't just lose the employee; you lose a customer and the family and friends of that employee who was not treated well.
