Pros

There are a few great, smart people there that are intelligent and smart - they are the ones that make every day great!

Cons

Management, incompetence, company's persistent lies about future, complacency, location (Framingham), absolutely no company culture, mood is miserable and drab. If you are thinking of working here - ABSOLUTELY DO NOT. The company just went through an acquisition - a private equity firm took the company from public to private. The Staples business model is NOT profitable and many of the business units are suffering. The ones that may be somewhat profitable are not big enough to actually make a dent in the business. Most importantly, there are TONS of lay offs and there will be more to come. All the great talent has left and more people are looking to move forward from the giant sinking ship.
