Pros

the only real good thing that i can see about working at staples is that you might make some really great friends. your always on the move and talking with people. if you dont want to sit at a desk all day than this may be a good job for you. there is alot of interaction with people.

Cons

moving up is difficult, but most of the people applying here are pretty young if you dont count management. after a while the work gets very repetitious and terribly boring. stocking shelves is not something that you want to do all day everyday. just like anywhere in retail you will find many of the customers become incredibly annoying as they expect you to give them the world.

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.
