Pros

high turn over, so you never had to work with the same moronic manager or corporate baffon for too long.

Cons

Greed at every turn, excessive busy work, bait and switch deals. Fine print on every offer. Management had no idea how to run a business, schedule employees, merchandise, resolve problems. It is all a numbers game to them. no one matters more than a number on a page. Every step is tracked and micro managed. Oh did I mention the deplorable set of customers. Staples attracts the worst mannered, entitled soccer moms and failing businessmen.

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!
