      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Staples in Dec 2020

      Interview

      phone call Q/A. 30 minutes. Interviewer not prepared and wasn't listening. Forgot they recruited me and made me feel person wasn't focused and was doing me a favor. Saw they checked my profile 5 minutes before call and told me I did not reply to request for information which later she acknowledged was not sent to me. Felt if this is how they handle an interview why would I want to work for them.
