Home Depot Order Fulfillment Associate, Employee review, Packdown shift 

I also just started this position and this video helped me a lot.

😂😂😂

lmao

bruh XD LMAO

Sounds like some members of Home Depot management team...

Fr. And then they expect US to try to make it fit. Like no, so you can sue us when your car gets damaged?! Get the fuck outta here. LOL.

What did they ask you in your sec interview ?

how was it lol hard?

@@R2berto it’s fairly easy

@@FL_Dolfo on the website what is the position called

Hey! I see this comment is a year old. Did you like it? Are you still there? I got called in to be and associate for the position. Do you think it's good for a small women to do??

I’m glad you found it helpful 👍🏻 best of luck

@@anthonymurphy8458 how do I pass the interview 🤔, what kind of questions do I have to worry about?

Joe D. They asked questions regarding difficult situations you’ve had to deal with in your life, situations where you had to pay close attention to detail, what you think your strong suits are, etc. Just 5-6 questions like that

You still working there?

@@petermendez707 yes

Thank you! And yeah it definitely wasn’t ideal having to juggle both in the early mornings before other delivery associates came in

I’m glad I could help!

I went to my interview, and guess what..!! I got the Job 👏🤜😳🤛 watching your video help me being me and just relax.. gracias amigo💙✨

@@mariaTorres0802 how is it

Anthony & Duy I've been considered for a position (see cut & pasted from email received below). Sounding like the PRO DEPARTMENT so sounding like big unwieldy heavy items like cinder blocks, paving stones, concrete/cement bags, drywalls which wouldn't be problem if it isn't for an upcoming surgery for fixing an injury due to lifting big heavy items...so I think I should turn down setting up digital interview they want me to setup (& wait for some lighter positions...I also applied for cashier & customer service/sales)?? Also from cut & paste below sounds like I will be driving a Ford F250 truck to customer places also...will I be unloading all by myself or will I drive with another coworker so both of us can unload customer orders? Appreciate any reply so I can respond to their interview request DUY TUAN: ở Quận Cam ở Nam Cali không vậy bạn? CUT & PASTE: Home Depot would like to conduct a digital interview with you for Position: PRO FULFILLMENT ASSOCIATE The Pro Fulfillment Associates are responsible for pulling and loading orders onto the F250 trucks, delivering orders to customer location and unloading orders in addition to following all safety and policy procedures

Of course! I’m glad you found it helpful 👍🏻

Anthony Murphy is it paid training too?

Yes you’re on the clock when you’re watching the training videos

😂 same grind, different aprons

fr but damn the work we do as associates is crazy

Is this job seasonal?

Thank you! I hope it went well.

Thank you! I’m glad it helped

How's tool rental going? I heard that you have to clean and repair the tools when returned, including if someone rents the sewer line cleaner, I wouldn't be looking forward to cleaning that thing

Thank you

How’s it been going

Got a interview on Wednesday 😬

@@juliopedraza3364 how’d it go

I hate jobs

do u get paid more for else fk that

@@doomslayerforever2858 no, Since i posted this i am now 7-4. But on top of orders i also do lumber recovery. Making 17 instead of the 15.50 i was making before(i didnt get 1.50 for changing, its just from yearly raises. But back to it, ontop of doing 2 jobs i get 17, overnight freight gets $19. My overnight manager says i can get at least $20 for doing just lumber recovery alone ontop of doing my job(which is slow since its winter). I just never see my store manager to ask.

Yeah it took me a couple weeks to get a good idea of where most things are in the store. That just comes are you pick more and more orders. And yeah, wrapping and strapping orders for delivery was one of my least favorite parts of the job 😂

I’m starting tomorrow, where exactly is the delivery department? Was never told where I’ll be working

update?

@@sethkang4410 got the job, worked 18 hours my first week, no drug test. working Temp Order fulfillment rn.

@@DBXClanOfficialRU-vidChannel i work here before. i applied again after few months of taking break. they made me wait for like 20 mins they probably hate me or something. i said man fuck it. i walk away said bye to homies and i aint coming back. that some bs

@@sethkang4410 hm, I've had a good experience so far.

@@DBXClanOfficialRU-vidChannel What kind of questions did they ask in the interview?

Mine is a seasonal job for 120 days. Especially with the pandemic. It's a temporary job.

I hope it goes well! Good luck

@@powerofroses1670 can you ask them to go longer than that? Like ask them to stay full time, or got to a farther extended period of time working at the job?

So do I, I want to expect this in case if I get hired

There were a few racks in a specific aisle where I would stage the order so more often than not, I wasn’t interacting with the customer. If the store was busy I did have to grab the orders and bring it to the customer but that only happened every now and then.

I originally applied for a different position and when I went in for the interview, they told me it was actually for the order fulfillment position (Kind of weird). But maybe you could call your local store and see if they have a specific opening for OFA if you don’t see it online. Also, there’s no need to be worried about the interview. It was super lax and they just ask a few simple questions about yourself. The staff at my store were all so nice.

@@anthonymurphy8458 i tried calling my local store and it kept saying that the operator is not available and it hangs up.

So long as you aren’t waiting long to be brought in for the interview, I’d say the interview process won’t take longer than about half an hour. They may ask if you want to begin watching your training videos right after the interview but if you’re busy you can schedule another time to come back.

@@anthonymurphy8458 when it comes with watching the training videos, is it online or in face-to-face.

They’re videos on the computer but you have to watch them on site at the store

@@CrisGarcia6 did they drug test ? If they did was it urine or swab test

@@Jenniferx-su6pw it should be a swab

Yeah I had an hour of unpaid lunch. You have the option of picking a 30min or 1hr lunch. I was working in NJ! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

how much were u paid im in nj also@@anthonymurphy8458

I’d say just go in with an open mind and don’t be afraid to ask other employees for help! It may be a little bumpy when you’re first getting into things but I can guarantee you’ll have the job down within the first week or two.

@@anthonymurphy8458 Thanks for the help. I'll be sure to talk to my trainer today, lol you caught me juuuuuust before I had to go to work.

I’ll be honest, I’m very anti-union for myself. And maybe it is because I have been approached by very strong sales tactics from union reps. I worked at Kroger. It is unionized but they try to strong arm you into joining them. I said no but they kept giving me worst case scenario and telling me it’s almost mandatory. Felt like I was talking to a detective. I still said no but the union rep wouldn’t let up. I’ll take my chances on a part time job. No reason to give my hard earned money to a union. I need my money.

hi i just started im 5’4 130 lbs and honestly the worst things to lift are probably the drywall and some of the doors but you can always ask for help from the other associates on the floor everyone’s super friendly

ask for an easier dept. I'm hoping to get assigned to indoor garden/bug repellents/cleaning supplies/ paint, they are all located next to each other. MY 2nd choice is power tools, and 3rd choice is electrical. Some of the departments I would avoid is cashier, service desk, lumber, tool rental, lot tech. Just my opinion, unlike other jobs you can walk around the store and get the feel for it first.

lot tech the same as lot associate? what about freight receiving? i want the best pay but easier job@@jlc7300

I’m not sure what that position is unfortunately

It’s not a requirement but I would strongly recommend getting the licenses if you plan on working there longer term. It just becomes a big inconvenience when the store is busy and you have to find and wait for an employee with a license to grab something you need to complete an order.

Yes there’s an app called Workforce that you can sign into and it will have your schedule and you’ll be able to request off, etc. on it

That sounds lit lol, I have an interview for it wensday, you still doing it and how is it now?

@@edmondcani7982 I went back to plumbing. They started not scheduling enough people and the work was too physical for my bad back.

@@mysterybuyer3738 oh snap😪, I hope my experience is better cus I’m only 18😭, I’m about to graduate and going to college for computer science so imma just see if this is good or not to do part time for now

@@edmondcani7982 Well all I can say is your experience will depend on your store and it's management. Not all Home Depot's are the same. It includes how many people that specific store hires and the hours they are assigned, or if they can find workers at all. I wish you the best of luck.

Yo bro same thing with me and I was thinking on calling and letting them know ?

Did you figure it out or get any info about it ?

@@IsthtNoel the link ended up working but said they didn’t need anyone in that position and they did end up sending another email and I answered the questions then it said that they didn’t need me or sum so I gave up

@@dominicstemmler1357 damn by any chance do you remember how long it took for the link to start working?

@@IsthtNoel couple days

I didn’t have to bring anything.

Yeah you with need a special license/certification for it. I’m not sure about specifics but your management will better be able to explain what you have to do. From what I’ve heard, it’s not a long or difficult process

your ASDS will issue online training courses for it, you can ask for which ever ones you wish to be certified on (reach truck, forklift, order picker, electric pallet jack, pacer) and then after you have taken the courses you would partner with an equipment trainer in your store and they will have you drive around and move some pallets and then if you do good they'll sign off on your checklist and your ASDS will give you a license.

@@ElectronicsForFun does this increase your pay by getting a license?

@@zl707hp no it doesn't. I am licensed on all of the machines and I am a trainer, and they didn't give me a dime. however! if you can acquire enough skills for your managers to think you're valuable they will give you a raise, you just have to ask for it. if you want more money you either have to climb the ladder to management or work hard and demand more money. there was one women in my department who had been with the company for 22 years as an OFA and she made more money that all of the supervisors. if you have skills and tenure then you become very valuable. there is a lot to learn and most new hires are completely worthless because they are still too green to work alone. also the longer you stay with the company the better the benefits get. they stopped doing it awhile ago but I think they just reinstated it, so if you stay with the company for 10 years they give you like $5k cash and 20 years they give you $10k cash and then it's like $5k for every 3 years after that. they also give you boat loads of vacation time. if I wanted to I could disappear for a month and a half and still get paid for it because I have so much vacation time. home depot is a great company to start a career because there is so much potential there. even if you don't aspire to anything if you stick with the company long enough they'll take care of you.

@@ElectronicsForFun Thank you for your time and reply 👍✌

40 hours

Store support.

Oh and getting payed 17 an hour which ain’t bad I hope you think and plus when I got my interview they didn’t even ask me questions they hired me on the spot and had me going to work a week after which today I’m starting my first day I hope it goes well

There’s nothing to be nervous about! It won’t take long for you get the swing of things and get to know everybody. Plus, you and the team have the whole store to yourselves for the night shift so it’s a lot more lax.

I’m starting tomorrow and I don’t really know where the delivery department is, where is it exactly? Or what happens when I start?

There’s no specific location for the delivery department, you kind of work all over the store. On my first day I just checked in with my manager and she linked me up with a staff member that trained me for the day. Otherwise, I would go in, get a phone, and get to work.

no, not order fullfillment.

Nope not that I recall! Just myself. And there’s no need to be nervous! It’s a pretty quick and easy interview

They told me to bring ID (washington state) but I dont know if its different for other states.

@@Lex-i thanks for your reply they didnt ask me for anything although i just got the one interveiw still awaiting to see if i get called for the second

@Glam Doll i brought it just in case suprisingly was never asked for it, guess i didnt make the cut

I worked full time and had off on Sunday but Saturdays were the busiest day. It made the day go by faster though

lucky you! I guess it's because things are higher priced there.

I got a merit raise in the first month

19 over hete

No that won’t be a concern. Of course there are some products that are heavy and you’ll need an extra hand with but most associates seem happy to help. Our store had order pullers of all ages (one in his 70s) and body types. You’ll be fine!

it's easier if you have some upper body strength but it should be much of a hindrance for you as long as you can endure the labor.

I do 12 push ups every day to keep my upper body strong.

Not to my knowledge, no, but depending on what department you’re in (lumber for example) it would be highly recommended to get your license asap to make your life easier

It depends. Back in the day when I was delivery puller I had to learn equipment before I could even try to get the job. These days with the new system they seem to not require it. In fact out of 5 pullers only two of us have licenses. The others don't. They are in no hurry to get licensed either.

While not required at some stores, I heavily recommend you start off getting a Ballymore Certification. The Ballymore Drivable Power Stocker Lift is a super, SUPER useful piece of equipment. If it's a heavy box that you can't get down with a rolling ladder, you're gonna wish you had a bally cert in order to get it down. I understand not being comfortable, but the Ballymore is a great piece of equipment to learn on, and it's pretty fun. It doesn't move fast enough to pose any serious danger, has many safety interlocks, and helps you build confidence in operating. If you can work up the mettle needed to get trained, I promise you'll likely appreciate the ballymore the moment you need to get down an item that's in the overhead.

@@raeyner makes sense, thanks.

How'd it go? I'm a similar size, they want to interview for this and I'm not sure?

yeah same im so nervous

@@ItsMiracleeedid you do it? if so how is it?

@@prodigalsondibo I already had three jobs after that, homedepot sucks

Yeah I worked full time as an order fulfillment assoc.

@@anthonymurphy8458 can you have fulltime on day 1?

Yeah when I got hired I started full time so once I was done all of the training videos, my official first day of work was 9-5. I was with another associate for 1-2 hours while he showed me the ropes and then I worked the rest of a full day.

@@anthonymurphy8458 oh ok thank you so much

Yeah it definitely wasn’t ideal. I’m sure they’ve increased the pay since I’ve left though to compete with everyone else in the area.

I've heard horror stories. My mom was a cashier at home depot and said the customers are rude.

@Brian David what the hell does that mean

That's why Home Depot has a cashier respect month 😭

Be careful, my mom was a cashier for 8 years at Home D. people are sneeky and try to stick other items inside of pipes, boxes etc. and store security can see you from the cameras.

New Jersey

You should be good to work at 17 👍🏻

good and bad, unionized companies take a chunk out of your pay for union dues, but it's harder for management to fire you.

Biweekly

BOSS orders, DELIVERY, and WILL CALLS here were insane

That's just 7 bundles of pickets use the SDFL.

I guess I’m moving to SC!

Started at $14.50 in PNW, covid bonuses then the perm raise bumped me up to nearly $17 ;p

It’s $13 in NewJersey also

16.50 an hr in Los Angeles for OFA. I'm guessing its the recent wage increases they made in November last year.

think its 17 now idk i need a job 17-20 is good eniough@@joshuabindhammer5208

They asked questions along the likes of “what’s your greatest strength,” “when was a time that you stood up for what was right,” etc. I forget the exact questions but it was 4-6 questions about myself pretty much

I was on the full time schedule so I was working 40 hours with the opportunity for overtime. Starting pay is $11 but from what I’ve seen, if you work hard and show that you’re interested in taking on more responsibility at the store, you’ll have the opportunity to make more

I have interview for order fulfillment associate and I just want to know like how much they pay an hour and how many hours do they give ! I use to work cruise 🚢 and they give me like 40 hours and $15 an hour.

My store was more than happy to have me working full time, so I don’t think it’ll be a problem working 40+ hours there. It’ll start at $11/hour. There’s also a covid bonus the more hours you work

I they put me as order fulfillment associate but I want part time. I do not know about driving a forklift, I have never drive it

i hear its now atleast 17-20 idk@@anthonymurphy8458

Yeah I’ve never heard anything against doing so and I’ve seen other associates wear long sleeves

Alright thanks man!!

@@chriso74 I wear long sleeves all the time and I work at Home Depot as well. :3

Employees do not get a discount unfortunately

you get discounts on stuff from other companies like cheaper phone bills and car insurance and special deals on stuff like computers and what not, but you don't get a home depot discount.

Ok thanks

I heard they use to give employee discounts but people took too much advantage of it and they stopped.

This is so mean. He took his time to create a video to help people. You make it then.

Okay Home Depot manager trying to be a propagandist lol

I did not get drug tested.
