Pros

It is easy to get away with things at Staples. The managers are so incompetent that don't even know where you are half the time. If you are an associate in the office supply department get a ladder and climb on top of the shelves and hide from customers and supervisors. Also you can sneak off in the midle of your shifts and take lots of breaks. You will need to do this because selling sheet protectors to some 75 year old that doesn't have a clue in what they want will drive you nuts.

Cons

Long grueling hours listening to customers complain. Managers that don't care about their store and don't have an idea on how to run a store.

Pros

Discount was pretty nice to have

Cons

Management was changed very frequently that right when one person would finally get their system in order, someone else would be hired to take their place. Also the pay was really bad, like it only became 15 right before I was leaving.
