I have found over the years that at the Corvallis store there is only three people employed there that are truly helpful. Bruce, if you need help in plumbing or hardware, Gina, for electrical, and Tom, for everything else. You got it; if you need help in gardening, plumbing, electrical, lumber, hardware, flooring, bar b que grills, power tools, etc, He is the most helpful person by far. He goes above and beyond to assist every customer to the best of his ability. It never ceases to amaze me how customers will stand in line for Tom's assistance. Home Depot you have a rare jewel in your presence. This man deserves a humongous raise, because whatever you are paying him is definitely not enough. I noticed that he as well as a few others are wearing "Coach" badges now. Where are the managers, the guys who make the big bucks, hiding while these few individuals are doing their jobs of training all these young people, who don't have a clue of what real work ethic is? 5 Stars for Tom in plumbing.

I just finished a 4 month remodel of two bathrooms. Home Depot service used to be great, special…read moreeven. Now it's awful. Many staff aren't informed about their job. They can't help you. A man in the paint department said he's not good at color. I asked if there was blue tint in the sample he was making and he said he didn't know and he didn't how to look it up. He said the color was pink and asked why I thought it had blue. I told him it looks purple. Nothing like the pink I asked him to make. Today I waited nearly 15 minutes in the paint department for someone to arrive. 10 of those minutes the phone was ringing non-stop across the way in customer service. I was calling to see if I could get help. I watched customer service standing around talking to one another, not answering the phone. So, I walked over and asked if there was someone who could help in the paint dept. They said someone would eventually come. I asked if he heard the phone ringing, He told me they don't even hear it anymore. I pointed at my phone and said the timer shows I've been calling for over 10 minutes trying to get help and there are 4 of you chatting here. I left it ringing a few more minutes until someone helped me in paint. I was calm and polite and so disappointed by what Home Depot is these days. I don't mind waiting, as needed, but no one is helpful. No one seems to care. I bought tile, flooring, paint, and so forth. I started driving to Lowes in Albany so I could get better help. I don't want to commute for this. My next project is a deck. I won't be working with Home Depot.

She gets way to close to certain employees and breaks up their relationships. Offers things for a "job well done". Fires others after working them until she chooses, knowing she is firing them. Uses people to her liking. Tells things to her "favorite" (Jon) employees about other employees and the Spath family. Not good business practices at all.

Not great when you are investing $1,000 in a raised garden bed. Their selection in store is lacking (couldn't find a common style caulk) and relatively expensive. That said, my three stars goes to the easy-going employees and the unique selection of trim you won't find at big box stores. You can also special order materials and they are great to work with. For these three reasons, I have tried to support this business over the years. Just make sure you triple check the materials. Other than that, centrally located and easy.

True Value as a whole I would definitely give a rating but NOT PHILOMATH OR. Not the way they have handled this situation, very poorly.

The store was empty and I was immediately greeted by a younger kid that seemed friendly enough. I asked about skill saws and he showed me, "the cheapest they had" and indicated he had other models in the back. When I asked about those models he told me they were more and had things like a laser on them. When I asked about a hammer tacker and tried to explain what I meant by that, what I was looking to use it for etc. I was left thinking he had no idea what I was looking for. I thanked him and walked out to spend nearly $600 at Home Depot. I would have preferred to buy some Craftsman tools and support the local franchise, but since this isn't the first time there that I have left disheartened, I doubt I will be back.
