Pros

Office Depot is a large company with offices all over the US and the world so depending on what you do and where you want to do it, they probably have a place for you. They have a diversified workforce and support diversity in the workplace.

Cons

As with many retail based companies, they are always trying to cut costs. While I understand the reasons behind this, it is unfortunate when those cuts involve employee benefits. Our current health insurance coverage is the worst I've seen in my 10 year employment history with OD. The costs are increasing for insurance while the coverage is decreasing. Bonuses have been cut so much over the years that now only management has the ability to bonus. Office Depot does have a few employee acknowledgement programs, however, getting nominated or considered for them is difficult.

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.
