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.
