Pros

I've been working at Office Depot's corporate HQ for a relatively short amount of time in the IT department. I was hesitant to make the move to this company because of the mixed reviews I've heard. However, I really feel that some of them are overly negative, and it's actually a great place to work. Pros: *Very competitive salary and bonus structure *Great work/life balance *Nice campus, some extra amenities (Cafeteria, Convenience store, Gym, massages, covered parking) *Inexpensive healthcare & other benefits, decent 401k match *Lots of friendly coworkers that are a pleasure to work with

Cons

Of course no place is perfect. Some cons: *Some people have been at OD too long and are too set in their ways and unwilling to compromise *Frequently have to work with tight budget constraints for IT projects I also understand that working at a retail store is probably a vastly different experience than working at the corporate office.

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.
