Pros
The best reason to work for Office Depot - BSD is the freedom. Although there is some reporting you are pretty much free to work as you please. Most of the people in BSD are also very nice and fun to work for. Finally, you get 10% off at the store. WOW! What a deal huh? Overall, there really aren't many good reason to work for Office Depot. The BSD organization is falling apart and is poorly managed. I would be very surprised if the company was still around in several years. Bottom line, don't work for Depot unless you can't find anything else.
Cons
The worst part of working for Office Depot is the lack of accountability of co-workers. I've never heard of an organization where you can email management or administrative people and never hear back! The culture is so terrible that you have to CC yourself and your manager on emails so that you can babysit the problem and your manager can keep an eye on the issue to make sure it gets done. In addition, the company has not adjusted to the times. Middle Management is overly obsessed with the number of new accounts you open. Not the $$$ of new business. What a joke.
