Starting a career with The Home Depot means more than putting on an orange apron. It means you’re joining a family - where we live our values, serve our customers and take care of each other. And when you’re part of this family it can change your life.

It’s hard to juggle work, family, school and unexpected challenges. That’s why we offer benefits designed to lighten the load.
No one likes getting sick and going to the doctor. Our associates save time and money by enrolling in Teledoc, a service that provides on-demand medical care via video chat.
Associates are also eligible for backup dependent care. If your primary care provider is unavailable, associates can access a network of care providers at discounted rates.
Working for The Home Depot, you’ll get access to savings and discounts at more than 30,000 merchants nationwide. Our associates can save up to $300 a year on their cell phone bills with discounts.

We’re also focused on closing the labor gap in skilled trades. It’s why we’ve committed to train 20,000 people in a skilled trade with a focus on military members.
When you’re a family you want the best for each other and that’s what it’s like working at The Home Depot.
