Pros

The best reasons for working at staples are benefits, job security, and schedules. At staples they offer great benefits for a retail company with health, dental, vision, life, and auto insurance. Job security at staples is very good as it is one of the most stable companies to work for.

Cons

The downsides at staples are favoritism, and lack of good wages. Although staples may have the best benefits, their salaries are very low at all levels from associate to general manager. Another reason is lack of advancement, Staples would rather hire outside experience and train them then hire home grown associates and pay them well.

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.
