Pros

Great work life balance and that's it! Great manager and may be great if you are in the right project.

Cons

Can't tell you the other section of the company but if you are a tech guy looking for a job in IT, I would definitely not recommend this company. -Poor pay -Bad benefits including health insurance. -If you are an on VISA, mobility (immigration) department sucks. I am waiting for my PERM for last 3 years. -Learning opportunity is "ZERO". Staples rather hire a guy from outside than training someone in house. -Discrimination between the different teams like some team get high pay and free coffee, not for every on!

Pros

You will acquire genuinely useful AR and account management skills including Oracle, MS Office, customer support, reporting, and general O2C fundamentals. These skills will help you in future roles and look good on a résumé. To be transparent: those skills will come in handy when you’re searching for a new job later — because based on team conditions, you’ll likely be looking again within a year.

Cons

The Escalation Specialist role was originally part of the Center of Excellence (COE) and fully remote. It is no longer remote. Management relies heavily on weekly “validation” scorecards to evaluate performance. These scorecards often feel subjective and based more on opinion than actual workload, metrics, or demonstrated knowledge. They do not accurately reflect your true performance or skill level. Recognition tends to go to the same small group of individuals (primarily within Vendor Management), even though the Specialists are responsible for the majority of the day‑to‑day work and issue resolution. This creates an uneven sense of visibility and appreciation across the team. You deserve better!
