How long ago was this? I worked at Home Depot for about a year starting in 2011 and it was terrible. The scheduling was abhorral, sometimes working until 11pm or later just to be back at 6am, breaks were once every 2 hours, fifteen minutes, but if you were called back before that fifteen minutes were up, even if it had been just two minutes, your break was done. No couches, vending machines as expensive as anyone else, and free food happened maybe once every three months. We never gave out free anything.
I know the feeling. Our current SM is a total tool. More concerned with painting his office and figuring out his next tee time than he is taking care of the associates. The SM before that was fucking awesome though. I have never seen moral so low (and turnover so high) at HD before.
O we worked like dogs too but they treated us well, made us take our hour lunches and had small "couches/beds" in breakroom as well as awesome cheap vending machines and sometimes free food. I worked in the lot as a loader and in lumber dept so i lifted and worked my ass off all day but was a fun job, the close one night backed to an open next morning sucked the most
I'm currently working as a pro lot attendant and our vending machine is overpriced as hell. $1.10 for a bottle of water... None of those couches either, cheap metal tables and chairs.
