The drawbacks to working at Staples are pain in rear end customers who expect associates to know everything about each item in the store. The fact that there is no employee discount only 15% back on purchases. lackluster communication between sales associates and senior staff.

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.
