Actually, I have yet to find a Home Depot or a home depot employee making minimum wage, I have worked there for three years and never have I made minimum wage and I've met plenty of employees and have never heard of one making minimum wage, home depot tends start pretty well for a retail job.
Whatever you do....don't work for this place. They got caught stealing money out of my paycheck and promised to give me the money back several times. Monday I have to file theft charges on the CEO Frank Blake because they won't send a check. I've been promised a check for six months now...........I'm done playing with Home Depot. Now they get to buy their attorney a $1000 plane ticket, pay my court costs and the money they stole.........you wanna play games Home Depot..........let's play.
If they decide to hire you they will send you for a drug test right after the interview is finished. If by some chance you are unable to go at that time (like I was) you have to have it done by closing time of the testing place the next day.
not enough.. Home Depot hires everyone at different rates. Essentially they want to hire people at the lowest scale. They hire you as part time but give you full time hours....this way they don't have to pay you benefits (because your are technically still part time). They will also hire you in one department, but they expect you to do more jobs than that. Basically, you are their slave. They wanna see how much blood they can squeeze from the stone. And when you get fed up after giving them your 'all'...you quit. They dont care because these kind of stores have a huge turnover (meaning they'll just hire another cheap sucker tomorrow).
As of January 2011, Home Depot had 321,000 employees in North America, Mexico and China.
a starting Cashier position at the Home Depot in California is $ 9.05, they say their are all kind of raises and opportunities but there arent many at all.

the other day. what someone else said.
When Thomas John Barnardo was born in Dublin in 1845 no one could
have predicted that he would become one of the most famous men in
Victorian Britain. At the age of 16, after converting to Protestant
evangelicalism he decided to become a medical missionary in China and
so set out for London to train as a doctor.
The London in which Thomas Barnardo arrived in
1866 was a city struggling to cope with the effects
of the Industrial Revolution. The population had
dramatically increased and much of this increase
was concentrated in the East End, where
overcrowding, bad housing, unemployment,
poverty and disease were rife. A few months after
Thomas Barnardo came to London an outbreak of
cholera swept through the East End killing more than 3,000 people and
leaving families destitute. Thousands of children slept on the streets and
many others were forced to beg after being maimed in factories.
In 1867, Thomas Barnardo set up a ragged school in the East End, where
poor children could get a basic education. One evening a boy at the
Mission, Jim Jarvis, took Thomas Barnardo around the East End showing
him children sleeping on roofs and in gutters. The encounter so affected
him he decided to devote himself to helping destitute children.
In 1870, Barnardo opened his first home for boys in Stepney Causeway.
He regularly went out at night into the slum district to find destitute boys.
One evening, an 11-year old boy, John Somers (nicknamed 'Carrots') was
turned away because the shelter was full. He was found dead two days
later from malnutrition and exposure and from then on the home bore the
sign 'No Destitute Child Ever Refused Admission'.
Victorians saw poverty as shameful as a result of laziness or vice.
However Thomas Barnardo accepted all children and stressed that every
child deserved the best possible start in life, whatever their background -
a philosophy that still inspires the charity today.
Barnardo later opened the Girls' Village Home in Barkingside, a collection
of cottages around a green, which housed 1,500 girls. By the time a child
left Barnardo's they were able to make their own way in the world - the
girls were equipped with domestic skills and the boys learnt a craft or
trade.
Thomas Barnardo strongly believed that families were the best place to
bring up children and he established the first fostering scheme when he
boarded out children to respectable families in the country. He also
introduced a scheme to board out babies of unmarried mothers. The
mother went into service nearby and could see her child during her time
off.
1905-1939 -- The charity after Thomas Barnardo's death
By the time Thomas Barnardo died in 1905, the
charity he founded ran 96 homes caring for
more than 8,500 children. Residential care
emphasised children's physical and moral
welfare rather than their emotional wellbeing.
Some homes housed hundreds of children and
staff were sometimes harsh and distant. Many
adults who grew up in the homes look back with
affection and believe the charity was a true
family. Others remember loneliness, bullying
and even abuse.
Child emigration was extended to Australia after the First World War as it
was still seen as an appropriate response to the social problems of the day,
even if by today's standards the practice seems cruel. These ideas
continued largely unchallenged until after the Second World War when the
emphasis shifted towards keeping children and their families together in
the community.
1945- 1960 -- The charity after the War
The war marked a turning point in Barnardo's development and the
history of childcare in the UK. Evacuation brought 'charity children' and
'ordinary' middle and upper class families into contact with each other and
they gained a greater understanding of their circumstances. The
disruption of war also improved understanding of the impact of family
break ups and effects on children brought up away from home.
Then in 1946, a national report (The Curtis Report) on children 'deprived
of a normal home life' was published, prompting a revolution in childcare.
For the first time, children were acknowledged as the nation's
responsibility. This report paved the way for the Children's Act of 1948,
which placed the duty of caring for homeless children and those in need
on local authorities.
So, during the 1940's and 1950's Barnardo's began working more closely
with families. The charity awarded grants to families in difficulties because
the breadwinner was unable to work due to illness or an accident. In the
mid 1950's it developed a scheme to house whole families affected by ill
health, housing problems, unemployment and crime. By the end of the
decade almost a quarter of the charity's work involved helping children to
stay with their own families.
1960-1999 -- Changing times
The 1960s were a time of radical change for Barnardo's. Single
parenthood was becoming more acceptable; greater use of contraception
meant that there were fewer unwanted children and improved social
security benefits meant that it was no longer necessary for parents to
hand over their children to Barnardo's because they could not afford to
care for them.
These developments and the changes in legislation
meant that the number of children received by
Barnardo's was decreasing and so a commitment was
made to cut down on residential services and develop
new work with disabled children and those with
emotional and behavioural problems. To reflect this,
the charity changed its name in 1966 from Dr
Barnardo's Homes to Dr Barnardo's. By the end of the
decade plans were made to close down large numbers
of homes and to convert them into specialist units.
In the 1990s, society became aware, through a number of high profile
criminal investigations and public enquiries, that a significant number of
children in residential care homes in the UK during the last century were
victims of physical and sexual abuse, neglect and discrimination. Some of
those children were among the 350,000 cared for in Barnardo's homes
between the 1870s and 1980s. Barnardo's deeply regrets the
maltreatment which some children suffered.
Where allegations of abuse are brought to our attention, Barnardo's
immediately informs the police and co-operates fully in any subsequent
investigation. Our Making Connections service specialises in providing
those who were in Barnardo's care with access to their records, and
offering support to those trying to come to terms with their past -
particularly those going through a process of disclosure of abuse.
Today we know how institutional care can rarely be a substitute for a
proper family life, hence our shift of focus to working with families and
communities. But, in the circumstances of the time, we believe that the
vast majority of those in Barnardo's care had a more positive experience
and received a better preparation for life than they would have done
without the part that Barnardo's played in their lives.
From the 1970s onwards, Barnardo's continued to expand its work in
fostering and adoption, and family centres were set up in communities to
support families in deprived areas. They set out to help families facing
problems such as unemployment, poor health, bad housing and poverty,
with the aim of defusing the stress and tension that might lead to family
breakdown and child abuse.
In 1988 the organisation changed its name from Dr Barnardo's to
Barnardo's to reflect the contrast with its Victorian past. The last
traditional-style home closed in 1989.
Barnardo's pioneered schemes for young juveniles and disabled children
and throughout the 1980s and 1990s developed new areas of work in
response to public concern over issues such as child sexual abuse,
homelessness and children affected by HIV/AIDS.
21
st Century -- What Barnardo's does now
Today we continue Thomas Barnardo's work
and Barnardo's is a leading children's charity
working directly with over 110,000 children,
young people and their families every year.
Today, we run 394 vital projects across the UK
to help some of the most vulnerable children
and young people believe in themselves.
Our projects work with lots of issues; from
family drug misuse to disability; from youth
crime to mental health; from sexual abuse to
domestic violence. Barnardo's believes we can
bring out the best in every child, and that all
children deserve the chance to fulfil their
potential.
We use our expertise and knowledge to campaign for better care for
children, and to champion the rights of every child. We also run award
winning advertising campaigns to help us spread the word about
vulnerable children.
