Pros

Office Depot has very mature IT systems and processes and skilled/knowledgeable people.

Cons

This is not the place for an IT Project Manager. All the responsibility, influence, and impacting work resides with the IT Leads/Development Managers and the functional leads. They are the real managers who deliver solutions. Trying to actually learn something about the business or the way it functions is almost impossible. If you want to push paper, then join ODP as an IT PM.

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.
