Rewarded for good sales behavior, but managers are treated very poorly. - Copy and Print Associate Staples Employee Review

Pros

Employees are rewarded for good behavior and good sales driving.

Cons

Corporate expects a lot out of these stores that are slowly failing due to unpreventable circumstances. Management is utterly berated for bad numbers even when everyone is performing. Staples only has room for growth if you move up and switch into supervising/management positions, otherwise your wage basically stagnates while you are there. There are constant openings because no one wants to stay here longer than they need to, just like every other retail position. In regards to the Copy Center specifically, the training is terrible (you're thrown into a world of unknown).
