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.

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.
