Pros

It changes everyday. You never do the same thing again and again. Most customers are fun and happy it makes the day go by faster.

Cons

Too many programs going on at once. It seems like the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Keep cutting benefits, stock purchasing plans, matching 401k and the such from the folks that actually work in an office depot. The big boys down in Del ray sit and talk about office depot and think about getting there bonus this quarter. IF you want to join the company and then move up, well good luck. It is much harder for an associate who know what they are doing to get promoted into management while they keep hiring these managers from other companies.

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.
