Pros

Big company experience in a South Florida location where there are not a lot of big companies.

Cons

Watching current management mismanage a formerly great company through short term decisions, outsourcing, and ignorance of the office supply business and the importance of relationships and customer service. The outsourcing of delivery was the first step in poor customer service. The moving of customer service to the Philippines, India and other countries was and continues to be negatively received by customers. The outsourcing of telephone account management to save money resulted in significant YOY declines. The company continues to be reactive and a follower, not a leader. Accountability is non existant in this silo managed company.

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.
