ATLANTA, Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Home
Depot®, the world's largest home improvement retailer,
is hiring 80,000 associates this spring in preparation for its
busiest season of the year. Over the next several months,
jobseekers can apply for both full-time and part-time positions
close to home, as 90 percent of the U.S. population lives within 10
miles of a Home Depot store.
Many of the part-time positions will be staffed in The Home
Depot's garden center, which gives associates a chance to work with
their hands and help neighbors start spring projects. In addition
to these positions, the company is hiring for overnight freight,
merchandising and other customer service roles across store
departments, as well as warehouse associates for its distribution
centers. To help associates get up to speed quickly, the company
provides innovative training programs and tools, including a
gamified mobile app, e-learning, and on-the-job coaching.
Whether jobseekers are students, parents, or retirees looking
for their second career, The Home Depot provides tailored benefits
to support any stage of life for all part-time and full-time
associates, including tuition reimbursement, backup dependent care
for children and elders, and discounts on items, such as cell
phones and laptops. Additionally, all associates are eligible for
paid family leave after one year of service.
"When you join The Home Depot, you're joining a winning team
built on our core values and associate-centric culture," said
Tim Hourigan, executive vice
president of human resources. "More than 90 percent of our store
leaders began their careers here as hourly associates, which is a
testament to our commitment to growing the careers of our
people."
For jobseekers looking for a sense of community in the
workplace, The Home Depot offers associates many opportunities to
give back, both at work and through Team Depot, the company's
associate-led volunteer force. Team Depot enables every associate
