Pros

Long long ago before e-commerce, this was a great career opportunity. Salary was never really competitive but the culture was a little bit more. Personal. Upward mobility really didn't get any further than management in a retail store. But it was reliable.

Cons

Brick and mortar just don't stand a chance anymore unless you need something right then and now. And for Office Depot that might be printer paper or printer ink? Or maybe some sort of copy and print project or shipping. You'll find nothing else you need or really even want in a local store and the website has just been horrendous since it's inception.

Pros

There are no pros to working for this company.

Cons

Low pay, grueling hours, unsafe and toxic work environment. The company does not offer opportunities for its sore employees to advance to the corporate sector; especially if you have a college degree. As a store employee neither you, your expertise and skill set, nor your ideas on how to improve workflow and company culture matter.
