Why work for The Home Depot?
Opportunity
The Home Depot is one of the fastest growing companies in America.

This results in a tremendous opportunity to build a future with the company.
Employer of Choice
We strive to be the Employer of Choice by helping associates realize their potential, creating opportunities for growth, and by recognizing and rewarding achievement. We believe our greatest competitive advantage is our people, those orange-blooded associates who continue to set The Home Depot above all the rest. In addition, we're proud to offer another industry first - Success Sharing. It's a unique program which rewards associates based on their store's sales.

Social Responsibility and Community Involvement
Giving back is important value at The Home Depot. Through extensive community relations program, we reach out to the communities where our associates live and work with philanthropic and volunteer support. Our programs bring together volunteerism, do-it-yourself expertise, product donations and monetary grants to meet critical needs and build affordable communities.
Community relations efforts focus on four key areas: helping to build and rehabilitate affordable housing; empowering at-risk youth to realize their dreams; protecting the environment; preparing communities for emergencies and assisting in responding and rebuilding.
Volunteerism is embraced collectively and individually. Whether it's building a playground for children, repairing homes for the elderly, helping inner-city teens learn job skills, educating customers about energy usage or shoring up an over-flowing river, making a difference helps Home Depot remain true to its progressive corporate culture. In 2004, during our inaugural "Week Of Service", our associates contributed more than 260,000 volunteer hours to more than 1,600 community improvement projects in one single week. For the full year, they've donated more than 7 million hours of time.
