Pros

Energetic Executive Leadership who are trying new things Potential to become more of an IT company

Cons

When I first started here, the company had recently purchased CompuCom. I thought Office Depot was adopting more an IT culture, but unfortunately not. The company has been through many layoffs, and unfortunately most of those left have been there over 15 years. They still think like a brick and mortar retailer and many have not worked anywhere else. While senior leadership is new and has new ideas, many of those in the company still have that old school management style. Lastly benefits are not great at all. While many tech companies and others offer significant vacation and holidays, Office Depot can't even offer a good amount of paid holidays...again still thinking like a retailer.

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.
