Culture
What’s the best place we’ve ever built? The place where we work. Here, you can be yourself and also be part of something much bigger.
Our Values
We live by our values. We think of them as instructions that guide our actions each day. Our values keep us all working toward the same goals, so we can build strong teams and deliver the service our customers count on from us.
Career Growth
We're in the business of taking care of people, and that starts with supporting our associates. Whether you're just beginning your career or ready for a new challenge, we support our associates every step of the way. Did you know that ninety percent of our store leaders began in hourly roles? Many of our executives started in the aisles, too. With mentorship, development tools, and training, you'll have the opportunity to learn the skills and build the connections that empower you to achieve your career goals. At Home Depot, we are committed to helping you grow your career.
This incredible company provides its associates with the resources and support they need to develop their skills. As someone who began their career in the aisles as a part-time cashier 38 years ago, I can personally testify to that. Our people can truly go anywhere they want to go, and we as leaders strive to help them get there!
— Crystal Hanlon, former cashier, current SVP and Culture & Values Officer
