Pros

Office Depot, has some very good employees, who make great loyal friends

Cons

Management is dishonest. The CEO is rated the worst CEO in America by several rating services. Stock is suffering! Staffing and customer service is now horrible! Employees are pressured to make unethical decisions with customers to improve profits. Every year under CEO Steve Odland, the coporate culture puts more and more emphasis on greed generated decisions, without any regard for ethics or morals. Think of Steve Odland as the Bernie Madoff of the Office Products Industry. If Office Depot survives through 2009, I would be suprised. This is not a company for anyone with ethics to work for.

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.
