I do love working for The Home Depot, because I just think it’s a wonderful place to work. I love the bonding, co-workers, and most of all I like the advancement that the company has.

401K has been very helpful to me. I have never had a 401K on any job I’ve ever had and this one was the first. They are taking care of me and I thank them for that every day. Vacation time and the company is very good if you need a day off. Merchandising is a very physical job.
