So after a week of thinking about whether or not I would attend my training sessions at the Home Depot this weekend I finally decided that I would give it a try, thinking that I had nothing to lose. And after 16 hours of paid training, I'm really glad that I went. There are so many positives about working there that I don't care what all the haters say. Here's a few perks.
- 50% of my tuition will be reimbursed
- 3 days of paid sick leave
- Any donations I make, they will match it. So if I had worked at Home Depot last year, they would have matched my "shave your head for cancer" fundraising. Meaning I would have been able to donate $1000 to Cancer instead of $500.
- Super flexible. I told them I had exams in two weeks. They gave me minimal hours this week, and gave me the next week off....with no hassles.
- Profit sharing
- optional medical and dental insurance
- stock options available
- starting wage is great
- I can switch to any department after 3 months, and training is provided and paid for.
*all this was started on the first day of training. No 3 month wait.
So to all you haters out there....
HAH!
Yeah. So before the semester starts, all I have to do is bring a receipt. Then at the end I have to prove that I finished the courses, and it will be reimbursed (the 50%).
