I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Staples (Williston, VT) in Jan 2024
Interview
I was sent a text message prompt beforehand to answer a few questions and schedule a face-to-face meeting. The interview was really easy; only a few general questions. It was very casual and took place in the employee break room. I ended up declining the position at the interview because they disclosed they were only paying $17/hr for a supervisor position, which is not a livable wage. It made me curious as to what the entry level employees are paid.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Staples (Charlotte, NC) in Jun 2022
Interview
Went through the application process, selected for interview. Confirmed through the text app process 3 times, and another via email about the in person interview time. I was told to be on time, bring my resume, and ready to interview (on all 6 of my confirmations from Staples)
I arrived early, with my resume, professionally dressed, ready to interview. Only to be told the manager was not even on the schedule and would not be in. Then the supervisor, that would be reporting to my position proceeded to inform me about ALL her opinions. It was a complete waste of time. Seems hard to hire people when the manager doesn't even show up to interview.
