      Pros

      I like the work at Office Depot and most of the time scheduling is great. Very flexible.

      Cons

      I do not like having to work on Thanksgiving. We are not a destination store that needs to be open. Our black friday sales suffer from being open on Thanksgiving.

      Great Start - Don't Stay Too Long

      Pros

      Office Depot is a great place to start for someone with no experience. For part-timers, as long as you know how to use the Associate System provided, it's easy to request time off and change your schedule. Within the four years I've been with this company, I've worked in three different locations (schooling and life has required me to move around a lot). There's absolutely no hassle when it comes to store-to-store transferring (especially with the Copy and Print Department!) This company also has a way of bringing the right people together! Of course, there is someone you probably won't agree with, but you quickly become part of the Office Depot family with a great majority of your co-workers.

      Cons

      For a department that supposedly makes up most of the profit in the company, the Copy and Print Depot is the most under-appreciated. This may be biased, but this department deals with the worst of the customers that visit the store and we are not supported as much as we should be. No matter how well you follow the policies set in place, once a customer threatens a lawsuit, Office Depot will do anything to please that customer. It's disappointing, but it's to be expected from a large corporate company. For ethical reasons, I will be resigning soon.

      Pros

      Set your own schedule and work is always different every day.

      Cons

      No advancement opportunities, corporate does not care abouut advancement if you are not in HQ. Management is very eratic and just throws everything at the wall sales tactics. They call commision bonus so that they don't have to pay it. The bonus structure is crazy and you can not figure it out, they do not explain and do all the calculations behind the scenes with no explanation. They tell you if you don't like it then to quit. They are so busy having their sales force to put all information in software online that they are losing out on the sales field actually having time sell to make their numbers.
