From the moment you walk through these doors, you start feeling welcomed. You are part of the family. That’s just tradition for us.
SARAH
Our main focus is getting product in front of customers quickly.
CHRIS
We’re continuously go go go.
PETE
It’s kind of like a beehive.
GILBERT
There’s always something going on here.
CHRIS
I love it, because it’s never boring.
PETE
It’s like wow!
MUSIC BREAK
SHANTA
The general warehouse associate works in different areas processing inbound and outbound.
SHARIFF
The key word in that title is general, so wherever your business needs you, that’s where we’re going to shift you.
TOMMY
Lots of trucks coming inbound to unload and then we are loading trucks to go to stores, so there is a lot of forklift traffic.
JOSH
They want you to do your job fast. They want you to do your job effectively, but they also want you to have fun when you do your job.
ELIUD
So from a culture standpoint, we have partners not employees because we want to seek their feedback.
NANCY
When I started working here, I thought it was going to be like any other job, where they just like okay you are just another worker, but not here. Here they treat you like family.
BRAD
My favorite thing about working at Home Depot is just the opportunity to grow. When I first got here that was what I’m seeking and I’m experiencing it and at this point the sky’s the limit for me.
SHANTA
The scheduling here, it is consistent. They have full-timers they have part-timers.
CAM
I love the schedule. The hours, the time we come in, the time we get off. It’s flexible. I still have time to do things in the afternoon and in today’s economy, you want to have a job you know is going to be there. They are not getting ready to go out of business.
TOMMY
I’m thankful that our leaders at the top are looking to the future and aren’t just being complacent and stuck in where we are. They’re looking to what needs to happen next. They’re planning and not only planning, but they are executing it and making it happen. So I’m confident that we are going to be around for a while.
Customer Service Associates - Video Transcript
JUSTIN
A typical day for a sales associate, would be coming in and um making our customers our first priority. And making sure that items are always available for our customers, for their convenience.
HAYGOOD
The kind of problems I solve are anything mundane from how to fix a sink. Sometimes it’s crazier stuff like hey my kid needs to build a T-REX out of pvc. And the things you learn on the job are things that can directly help you. If you have an apartment, if you have a home, if you want to go out on your own and do contractor handyman work, you’re going to learn so much.
KYMONI
It’s challenging, but that’s a good thing if that makes sense, because there’s a lot going on. You’re not just doing one thing, you’re doing several things at one time.
ANNETTA
I needed something that was going to go around my schedule out of the building. I was able to come in and work in the morning, which is usually about six o’clock to maybe twelve o’clock. And then I went to school and then came back and closed the store, like from five to ten pm. And there is always an available store, if I was to move state to state in a transfer.
ANTHONY
You have a store of people that are willing to help you accomplish your goal. Because it’s like one big family.
JUSTIN
I feel confident to maybe one day open my own small business. It’s helped me save money. A 401k is an amazing program we have here.
ANTHONY
I really love doing what I do and I can’t really see myself doing anything else.

MATT
I am currently a freight supervisor at the Westin Home Depot.
So the work that we do here at night is basically we unload trucks. And then we, as a team, pack everything out onto the shelves. Make sure that the shelves are packed down and straightened fully. And make the store, basically, grand opening ready every morning.
TERRY
Checking in merchandise, bringing it to the floor, assisting other associates, shipping out.
MATT
You have to be willing to work independently. You have to be willing to work quickly. If you stay busy and keep working, you’ll notice that the nights and things go by as fast as possible.
TERRY
It is tough. You do lift a lot. I walk over ten thousand steps a day. I got my stepper, but it’s good when you punch out and you go home and you feel really good about the job that you did for the day.
JARED
This is my second job. They have been very good about working with me. There’s sometimes where I’ve been able to take nights off, but work a little bit longer on another night. So they’ve been very flexible.
Some of the benefits that part time employees have here would be of course the ability to purchase, at a discount, Home Depot stock. They have the ability for tuition reimbursement. You do earn vacation after a year and you also do earn sick time. Plus, it’s a family. Everybody treats everybody around here like their friend. Our management has cook outs for us. It’s just all around a good company to work for.
MATT
How ever far you want to go here, I’m here to help you do that. I’ve known freight associates that are store managers now. You can go as far as you want to go.

BILL
Merchandising is a very physical job. By the end of the day, I’ve usually walked about seven to eight miles.
MONIQUE
I do love working for The Home Depot, because I just think it’s a wonderful place to work. I love the customers. I love the bonding, co-workers, and most of all I like the advancement that the company has.
NICOLE
We have sick time. Vacation time and the company is very good if you need a day off.
BILL
My gosh, the benefits are even better than I thought. I get employee 401k. We get the employee stock purchase plan. We get travel benefits. It’s kind of crazy.
