Pros

Quick advancement of opportunities. Good people to work with. It's not very busy until you reach the black friday and back to school times, thats when having a low staff hurts you but its not that bad. Overall its a pretty good company, they just need to improve their employee service.

Cons

Miscommunication among management, senior management can't control their store. Security systems are outdated and don't work in older stores so its impossible to prevent shrink when office depot is cutting hours for all associates and you only have three to four people, including the manager on duty, running the entire store.

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.
