Jennifer, Military Spouse
Jennifer has grown her career while balancing family and service. She started as a Store HR Manager, and now she is a Field Staffing Manager.
"What attracted me to The Home Depot was its reputation of taking care of people – communities, veterans, associates, and customers. I stay with Home Depot because I am part of something special. The culture is unlike any other. My work has purpose while making a difference in associates' lives, and I have incredible leaders and mentors who support me and guide me."
Michelle, Marine Corps Veteran
Michelle's leadership background in taking care of people plays an essential role in our supply chain operations.
"The most important responsibility I have as a leader at The Home Depot is taking care of my associates, and I do so with honor. I'm proud to be part of this vast family and the reputation we uphold in our communities. When I tell someone where I work, they respond excitedly with, 'I love Home Depot!' That's a great feeling."
Mike, Coast Guard Veteran
Mike uses his skills in problem-solving and leadership in our distribution centers. He began as part of the Hiring Our Heroes fellowship program, and today he is an operations manager.
"I was originally attracted to The Home Depot because I was looking for opportunities close to family with endless potential for career growth. After joining the team, their commitment to entrepreneurial spirit and positively impacting their people makes it feel more like a family."
CARLOS, Marine Corps Veteran
As Carlos was transitioning from the Marine Corps, he was looking for a company with a strong commitment to service and community. Seeing Home Depot’s values of giving back, taking care of our people, and doing the right thing helped him decide to start his second career here as an analyst.
"There is a pride of belonging at The Home Depot. I am unbelievably proud to be a part of an organization that understands the value of hiring veterans. Your leadership skills and professionalism are truly valued within the company. The career opportunities are endless!"
BILL, Navy Veteran
Bill’s teamwork and focus on mission accomplishment helps him thrive in our store. Starting as a sales associate in our Hardware department, Bill now helps customers as a Kitchen Project Specialist.
"I appreciate the teamwork occurring across our departments and store. In the military, teamwork is central to mission accomplishment. So is the ability to focus on a project. It is as valuable working here as it is in the service."
ASHLEY, Army National Guard
Ashley, a college senior and member of the Army National Guard, joined the military while working in one of our distribution centers. After two years, Ashley was promoted to an HR coordinator while balancing a career, studies, and military commitment.
"In my current role, I'm expected to take the initiative to get things done, and I feel that is something the military taught me to do very well."

Military Transfer Program

This is why we are proud to offer a Military Spouse Transfer Program for our store and supply chain associates, empowering you to relocate their careers across our 2000+ locations in the US when the military relocates your family. Ask your HR partner for more info on this program.

Job security for when we relocate is a huge benefit and stress reliever. A lot of military spouses have to quit their jobs when they move.
