Pros

Easy place to work , no other employee or manager has a clue, so if you know even the basics you are ahead of the rest

Cons

limited oppurtunity for advancement. The company tends to hire from the outside for upper level promotions and rarely hires internally. Most other retailers I have been with will give current employees preference for promotion, but staples tries to attract the "brightest and the best" from other retailers in the hopes to steal their "secrets". There is little growth that takes place for a manager at staples. I would say that I degressed more that I progressed while working their.

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.
