Pros

Not one thing about this job can be considered a “pro”

Cons

The worst job I have ever had. Absolutely miserable place to work, miserable environment, miserable pay. I have an amazing job now and look back at my (short) time at Office Depot with absolute shock. The company is failing horribly and will most likely be out of business within the next 10/15 years. The average customer is a demanding and senile 50+ year old who expects the 18-30 year old employees to immediately know niche and ultra-specific office supplies, forms, and electronics. Don’t even get me started on the print department. If you are unlucky enough to be forced into this job, don’t be surprised when they attempt to stick you in print. Do not even bother showing up, seriously. It is by far the worst experience I have had in my young adult life. The software is outdated, the print department is understaffed (at every location), the customers are unbelievably rude and unwilling to understand the simple concepts of a queue, line, or a wait. They also expect Office Depot to produce ultra high quality print products, as if that was their one and only speciality. They will yell, scream, and berate you for not having 100+ business card templates or for being unable to print a life-size cutout in 4k ultra high-definition. This is seriously, and I mean *seriously* the worst job I have ever had.

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.
