Go for as much as you can get, because they will fuck you over with raises.
Long story, but I got a shit raise after a good review (3%), went to store manager and talked to him plus told my supervisor I would quit and take the other 2 hard working guys at night with me, and got a slightly better raise after they went to the District manager to get the damn raise.
I work half as hard as I use to, because I got tired of busting my ass of for nothing, no appreciation, no money. Bob Nardelli makes 40 fucking million a year for sitting in a fucking office. FUCK HIM. They tell me theres no money in my store to give anyone more than a 3% raise, no matter how hard of a worker they are, or how good of a review they got. HD use to be a good company to work for I hear, but now its just another place to work.
The work isn't bad, I like what I do (recieving) but there's alot of bullshit that doesn't need to be there. I constistently have the best Minutes-per-bill in the district (average truck unload times) and never heard shit about it, the one time It gets high (all the stores were, just seasonal) they start complaining.
